Holmes art

For [livejournal.com profile] 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 [livejournal.com profile] 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*

*squee has been heard in the next county*
I adore Watson's 'Er...What the heck, Holmes? But hey, this is nice" expression, and the whole thing is just made of adorable all over.

*stays here for a while, grinning sillily (is that a word?)*

Bweeeee! Thank you ^_______^ Sillily is totally a word! We can declare it so! I'm really glad you liked it :) I definitely wanted it to look like Holmes kind of surprised him with it.

Eeee! *bounces* I love your art.

I also read the whole "okay, this is new... but I'm definitely loving it" thing in Watson's expression.

Oh and Holmes's profile? *grins* Oh yes, very nice. *happy sigh*

Squee! Thank you so much! *delighted that you like my art* That's the perfect thing to read Watson's expression as :)

Awwww...Fabulous! :)

Thank you! n_n Holmes's profile is easier to draw than Garak's sadly XD But I'm working on it!

I totally agree with [livejournal.com profile] janeturenne's assessement of Watson's expression. Yes!

I also love the slight messing up of Watson's hair from Holmes' face and forehead leaning on it. *am a total sucker for forehead-leaning and hair messing, and especially if the two go together*

And the hands ... oh the hands. *sighs contentedly*

n____________n Thank you! *little happy Ed-from-Bebop-style dance-in-a-circle* That comment about Watson's hair makes me SO HAPPY.

*am a total sucker for forehead-leaning and hair messing, and especially if the two go together*

Ahaha, no wonder you love Starsky & Hutch XD

And I'm really glad you actually like the hands, because I kind of gave up on them in despair *laughs*

I can see you dancing like that. n_n

Quite true. ;)

The hands were fine. Very expressive.
