This image really inspired me in the way that the figure in it is elegant, seemingly weightless and free. From this image it made me think of natural forms in dance.
I like how this image is full of layers and it looks like a layer mask was used in Photoshop to get the empty white space around it.
I always love the study of hair on sketches by different artists because they all have their own technique of drawing it. This also inspired my Halloween costume.

I like the merging of insects into the facial features it's uncanny with the misplacement and almost grotesque but the subject is very beautiful and conflicting.

I am always constantly fascinated with drawing hair because it's so fine so it's hard to draw but there are so many different ways of articulating hair in sketches.

The wings and composition inspired me in this image and I tried to capture the flow of the butterfly wings and petals with a fine liner, however the weight of the pen didn't quite work.

I was really pulled in by this artists technique of drawing because I like how she creates quite 3D looking flowers that are actually simple flat colours, and the way in which she brings all the elements together in one glorifying composition with some intricate details and blocks of colour.

Pattern! Color! These are wild—even more so because of their 1912 publication date. Kind of psychedelic, even.

This was amazing in person she cut the paper so finely that when it was made into a huge pile and strung up I almost wanted to touch it!

Windswept by Charles Sowers
Art installation fixed outside a gallery’s wall, displaying natural flow and turbulence of the wind - via dezeen:
Hundreds of spinning blades reveal the invisible patterns of the wind in American artist Charles Sowers’ kinetic installation on the facade of the Randall Museum in San Francisco.
The installation, titled Windswept, consists of 612 rotating
aluminium weather vanes mounted on an outside wall. As gusts of wind hit
the wall, the aluminium blades spin not as one but independently,
indicating the localised flow of the wind and the way it interacts with
the building.
“Our ordinary experience of wind is as a solitary sample point of a
very large invisible phenomenon,” said Sowers. “Windswept is a kind of
large sensor array that samples the wind at its point of interaction
with the Randall Museum building and reveals the complexity and
structure of that interaction.”
You can find out more at Dezeen here, with photos and a video of the work in action.
