Cell motility plays a fundamental role in the development of life. This topic is addressed by a very active field of research, but the fact that cells are able to move is also very attractive for the general public. This provides an efficient way to introduce biology at the cellular scale. However, usual schematic representations convey a very static and flat image of cells. Using hand drawing and sketching techniques, it is possible to represent moving cells in a more dynamic and spatial way. This poster exemplifies several aspects of the dynamics of drawing through the representation of stem cells, neurons, cancer cells and immune cells. These images, created either for scientific publications or for the general public, also show how drawing can interact with text and photography (in printed context) and how it can be extended through animation (in the context of films, museography or conferences).
