Holmes arts

[elaby]

My first official fan contribution! Uh, fluffy art. Eh heh.

Things I learned while drawing this:
- I <3 screentones
- I can draw people with facial hair! Who knew?
- Yes, photo references = good. Duh. I should really use them more often.

This could be Holmes/Watson if you want it to be.


Click to embiggen. I imagine the scenario went something like this:

221B Baker St. around 1:00 am
Watson - Are you going to bed?
Holmes - No, I've research to do.
Watson - I don't think I'll turn in quite yet, then.
*twenty minutes later*
Watson - *zzzzz*
Holmes - *amused*

awwwwww!

Did I tell you about the Holmes/Watson audio book adaptation I heard where they had an entire conversation lying on their backs on the rug? :-)

[elaby.livejournal.com]

No! I'd love to hear it :) Do you remember which adaptation it was? I kind of want to collect them all now XD

I'm glad you liked the picture :)

I got it in grad school at the little town library. It was stories from maybe the memoirs ... I know it had Silver Blaze the Yellow Face and the Crooked Man and the one about the family who supported Charles I,and it ended with the Final Solution.

They turned the stories into plays with several actors, and so they created scenes, or wrote dialog to fill in the narrative. And they're adorable. Holmes and Watson have picnics and admire the sunset...

Eeeee! I wonder if they're the Bert Coules BBC ones :) I've heard some of them (Silver Blaze was one, actually), and they're AWESOME. They have sound effects and are like plays. I want all of them, but I'll have to save up or get them for my birthday or something ^_^

This turned out to be cuter than ever! *squees* I love Watson's hand (yes, you trained me to always look at the hands first ...). I also love the texture on Watson's suit, and Holmes' Persian slippers! Good job. :)

Bweee! Thank you ^____^ Haha, my hand-noticing-training has been successful! It's a good thing you only seem to notice when the hands I draw look good ^_^

The hands you draw always look good, but I know that you have issues with them, so I like to mention it. :)
