I am not a graphic designer!
But now, I am looking for a Windows-based software to help me in the easy drawing of sophisticated 3D illustrations in the field of biomedical engineering and biomedicine.
* The most important criteria for me are to be user-friendly, as well as to be easy to learn and work.
* Moreover, that would be great if systematic tutorial videos of this specific software will be available on the web (Lynda, Udemy, etc.) to learn how to design complex structures (DNA, blood vessels, etc.) and organs (lungs, heart, etc.).
I do appreciate your useful comments and wonderful suggestions in advance! especially those who have previous experiences in illustration of images in the field of Bioengineering.
Dear Mohsen, I recommend yo using CorelDRAW and Illustrator. Also, yo can use Biorender, this is a online software that helps you create scientific figures in minutes.
Dear Mohsen Taghizadeh Komarolia, as far as I know ChemBioDraw has multiple tools to make what you desire. Also I suggest you to download .ppt files of Servier Medical Art where you could find many illustrations. Also, BioRender can be very useful for making illustrations.

Dear Mohsen, for 3D design there are difference 3D cad software such as Solidworks and Autodesk Maya. Solidworks has special BioCad modeling also which might help you for anatomy organ design. Regarding the DNA and similar design, PyMOL might be useful.
Hi Moshen, if you fancy stepping out of CAD (i.e., Fusion260, AutoCAD, Solidworks), then head on over to Adobe Cloud for the gold standards. It has a steep learning curve, but is the most universal illustration software.
Now about the "easy drawing of sophisticated 3D illustrations", that's not how it works. All too often there is an assumption that artistic skills lack value, nothing could be further from the truth in this digital age. Human Factors Engineerings studies remind us time and again, that a well designed technical and aesthetic object or image is used more often and more effectively, which typically leads to better safety outcomes.
Another option is to find and partner with a local artist from a university. Many of them are looking for jobs (even small ones). If there are timeline concerns then it may cost more but check out www.upwork.com or www.freelancer.com. We use these groups and others to get the designs we need.
Due to sub-fields in Biomedical Engineering program, it is really hard to say which software is more useful. However, ABAQUS, Solid work, and Catia are the best biomechanics software in this program. In Abaqus even you can run your model to see the strain and stress.
Hi, i suggest you use photogrammetry software which can scan the real image and reproduce the image for an analysis or illustration
