I made a drawing of one of Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin's Insulin models. I drew only the negative spaces between the copper, plastic and steel components to highlight the exquisite shapes.

Have you seen her own drawing of insulin? It’s beautiful!

I found it when researching her bio when I recently made her portrait. I like including a scientist’s own work/diagrams but insulin is too complicated for me to carve, so instead I looked to a stylized version of it.
I also love that when I typed 'dorothy hodgkin insulin drawing' into Google, your portrait of her (which is also beautiful btw) was on the first page of results! Brilliant!
