Aubrey Bearsley


Beardsley uses very block black work - almost print work - to create her beautiful illustrations. They're a nice, strongly illustrative portrait drawings and they seemingly are very detailed. The flowers on the above image could be of interest for this project because they're very heavily illustrated and look as though they would catch the eye of the person looking at it. The people behind them, lack detail but not so much that they're unidentifiably people. 

I really like this one, because it's even stronger than the above one. The line work is stronger and cleaner; which may be a personal opinion rather than a definitive art evaluation. I love the head and the way the hair falls delicately off of the table and shows how light the hair is and the contrast between the blood drips. I could take inspiration from her inner coat, where there's flowers that are carefully situated.
