Description

Songs of Bilitis illustration.
I was reading about Aubrey Beardsleys illustration of Wildes Salome, the symbolism, sexuality in this really layered work, he was a very talented, intellectual illustrator. Apparently Wilde hated it and tried to get him fired, Beardsley drew him several times in the drawings as a kind of compliment/insult. And i paid a little compliment myself to Beardsley's beautiful drawings in the hair and outfits.
The anatomy in the draft is terrible with hands the wrong way round and the rndering of the cloth is amateur- no excuses.
but i like the layout of two women showing passion for each other. So will re draw-
Pen and ink and watercolour on paper.
Only took me an hour
