Science Drawings: Research Tools, Animals & Cell Types
Learn More About Simplified Science PublishingA comprehensive review of science drawings and how to include them in your research publications and posters.
Scientific images are becoming increasingly essential science communication tools. Whether you need images for a public or scientific audience, your project will benefit from using high quality animal model and research illustrations to describe your work. This article shows a variety of free and affordable science images that you can use to create your own impressive designs for scientific papers.
Drawings for Research Methods and Biological Diagrams
Creating research illustrations can be difficult for scientists who do not have drawing skills. Below are examples of customizable images for methods sections and biological diagrams that you can use to easily create your own designs for graphical abstracts, manuscript figures, and presentations.
Laboratory Tools and Equipment Drawings
Scientists are often tasked with creating graphic designs that explains what research methods were used in their experiments. The illustrations shown below are the most commonly used laboratory tools and method diagrams such as pipettes, Eppendorf tubes, petri dishes, well dishes, experiment schematics, microscopes, plasmid maps, genomic and proteomic molecular assays, behavioral assays and much more!
The lab illustrations shown below are fully customizable in vector editing software such as Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer, Inkscape and partially editable in PowerPoint.
NOTE: All of these template drawings are included in with Simplified Science Pro for only $59/year
Biological Diagram Science Drawings
Biological diagram illustrations are also commonly used to describe research results and methods. Scientists who work in the field of molecular or cellular biology may find it useful to download a series of cellular background templates with lipid bilayers paired with signaling molecules, cell types, organelle, DNA, and RNA designs.
The scientific illustration examples shown below are fully customizable in vector editing software such as Adobe Illustrator, Affinity Designer, Inkscape and partially editable in PowerPoint. They are designed to help scientists quickly illustrate nearly any biological mechanism with professional-looking graphics.

There are also tools such as BioRender that allow you to create graphical abstracts with science drawings that you can copy/paste into designs. However, this tool has limited customization options and is very expensive if you want to download your work as high resolution images that are used for publications and presentations. Read this article to learn more about the costs, pros, and cons of popular scientific design tools.
Scientific Drawings of Animals
Animal illustrations are essential for scientists who need to describe complex results that used animals or patients their experiments. Commonly used animal models include mice, zebrafish, fruit flys, nematodes and chickens. Below are scientific drawings of animals that are optimized for use in scientific figures, presentations, and posters. All downloads come in three file types: Adobe Illustrator, SVG, and PowerPoint.
Rat and Mouse Illustrations
Rodent drawings are designed for use in scientific publications and presentations. Downloads include brain illustrations as well as rabbit and guinea pig animal model drawings. These images are easy to use in any design software and can be customized to best represent your research.
Zebrafish Illustrations
Zebrafish drawings that include illustrations of developmental embryo stages and adults. These images can be edited in vector software to add color and adjust every aspect of their design to show normal versus abnormal development.
Fruit Fly Illustrations
Fruit fly (Drosophila) drawings that include illustrations of the brain, adults from various view points, and embryo development stages.
Human Brain Illustrations
Human brain drawings that include illustrations of sagittal and coronal views as well as illustrations of the brains within the head outlines. The outlines are especially useful if you want to represent different aspects of brain biology.
C. Elegans Nematode Illustrations
Nematode drawings of Caenorhabditis elegans that include illustrations of hermaphrodites (XX), males (XO), nervous system image, developmental cycles, and cross sections from anterior, middle, and posterior areas of the body.
Chicken Embryo Illustrations
Chicken embryo development stage illustrations that include drawings of Hamburger Hamilton developmental stages, cross sections, and examples of in ovo electroporation. Downloads also include a hatched chick and adult chicken drawing.
