contents We present SciDraw-6K, a curated dataset of 6,291 scientific illustrations synthesized by Google Gemini image-generation models, each paired with prompts in eleven languages (English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese, Italian, and Russian). Images span eight broad scientific categories -- biomedical, chemistry, materials, electronics, environment, AI systems, physics, and a long "other" tail -- and are produced primarily by the gemini-2.5-flash-image and gemini-3-pro-image-preview model families. In contrast to general-purpose text-to-image corpora that dominate the literature, SciDraw-6K is purpose-built for the scientific illustration genre: schematic diagrams, mechanism figures, table-of-contents graphics, and conceptual posters. We describe the construction pipeline, report dataset statistics, and document its use as the substrate of sci-draw.com, a public scientific drawing service. The dataset is released to support multilingual text-to-image research, domain-adapted diffusion fine-tuning, and prompt-engineering studies for scientific visualization.
