Leonardo was not just an artist but also made remarkable contributions to science and engineering.

Design of Flying Machines: By observing the structure of birds, Leonardo conceived the idea of flying machines.

Study of the Human Body: Leonardo dissected over a hundred corpses to sketch the accurate structure of the human body. His famous drawing, Vitruvian Man, illustrates the proportions of the human body.

Inventions and Weapons: He designed various weapons and tools for warfare, although most of them were not realized during his lifetime.

Philosophy and Vision

Leonardo was a curious mind who believed that knowledge of nature and science was the key to human progress. His personal notebooks contain thousands of sketches and research notes, revealing the depth of his thoughts.

Death and Legacy

Leonardo passed away on May 2, 1519, in Clos Lucé, France, at the age of 67. His work and ideas remain symbols of creativity and innovation worldwide.

Conclusion

More doodles from the Da Vinci show at Singapore Science Centre. This section of the exhibition is one of my favourites… inventions of things that allow you to glide in the air. From time to time, I used to have flying dreams. More like gliding… in supermarkets. I would push off like in a swimming pool and glide through the aisles. Don’t we all miss flying? . https://youtu.be/Btcj2HNnIvA . . . . . . . . #illustration #skech #sketchbook #sketchbookskool #linework #linedrawing #スケッチ #스케치 #urbansketchers #usk #urbansketching #pencildrawing #sketchwalker #peoplesketch #alfdoodles #sketch #sgartist #leonardodavinci #dailypractice #davinciinventions #davinciexhibition #scsdavinci (at Science Centre Singapore) https://www.instagram.com/p/CRiE4enrrX2/?utm_medium=tumblr

I decided to do a gouache study even though I had only 10 mins to do it. Da Vinci took 14 years to create the original work of art. .
