Aubrey Beardsley roXOrs!!!

Wait, are we talking drawing, as in illustration, or are we talking drawing in terms of strict skill of draughtsmanship? Damn, I need to read the question better.

Because in terms of illustration, I will always go for gorgeous Japanese-influenced pen and ink like Beardsley and Alistair and folks like that. (Modern equiv: probably Gorey)

While if you're talking sheer draftsmanship and rendering ability, you're got to say DaVinci, for his mind-bogglingly accurate anatomical studies, or maybe Durer or someone.

Oh, all this poncey "art museum" stuff. Whatevah.

Gimme Jack Kirby & Joe Sinnott, or John Romita Sr. And Dave McKean, circa _Arkham Asylum_. (Dark Horse = Chris Bachalo.)

I am.

Kate oh so called it. I have a complete Beardsley collection volume that's one of my treasures. Beautiful.

Amazingly, I have to back Beardsley as well. It's those jinking runs - that little swerve of the hips - the surprising strength from so small a man - the killer pass or powerful shot that concluded his surges.

Anyone for Tenniel?

Leonardo, Michaelangelo, Rembrandt... anyone who was actually trained to draw, really...

Ingres?

― Josh, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

As mentioned in the _Alice_ thread, Tenniel = grand.

― Ned Raggett, Friday, 20 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-four years ago)

Kate, we had Aubrey Beardsley wallpaper in the loo in my old house.

Yeah remember this when it was called something else some time ago, there was an ilx thread for it I'm sure.

I just like reading all the completed stories that other people have done

― Drop soap, not bombs (Ste), Wednesday, 18 December 2013 11:56 (twelve years ago)

the top rated ones are very well drawn, but a bit heavy on the 'character from pokemon/dr who/etc does incongruous thing' type set ups, the stories with a mixture of beautifully rendered art and demented scrawls are the best ones, I think.

Yes way too many specific names from strange memes/japanese rpgs etc that I've never heard of.

Emo Cat named Momus suggests you go buy music
