Holmes art

For potatofiend! In that drawble/drabble meme from a million years ago, she asked for a drawble of Holmes and Watson cuddling. And last night I finally finished it! I hope it makes you feel better :)




I don't know what the devil is wrong with my scanner, but I swear my lines are smoother than this in real life. *momentary grump, overridden by satisfaction with how Holmes's profile came out* I probably ought to have shaded his hair, but I'd already scanned it when I remembered this, and I didn't want to touch it for fear of messing any of it up. I am rather happy with it ^_^

*giggles* I greatly confused caitirin with several cobbled-together-looking pictures from the Granada series I had open overlapping on my screen, in an attempt to see how frock coats look from the side.

Bweee! Awww, this is adorable and gorgeous! I'm crazy about your Holmes, but I'm also totally lovin' Watson's expression, which, to me, is somewhere between "wait, what?!" and "oh, hells yes!" except in marvelously subtle Victorian form. Granted, I may simply be reading far too much into his moustache and the oddly suggestive angle of its corner, but, as this is Watson, and as you drew it, I THINK NOT.

Eeeee! *spins in chair* Thank you! I am so totally delighted that you read that much into Watson's expression. My intent - before drawing it - was to have him be half surprised and half concerned, considering what it would take for Holmes to do such a thing. But it didn't turn out that way when I drew it, and I like your explanation a billion times better! *glomps*
