Sherlock Holmes pondering a particularly puzzling case.
I drew this as a celebration of the fact that, as of February (2012), I have officially read all of the Sherlock Holmes novels. Even The House of Silk.
Funny coincidence: I was about to post this, when I noticed that the theme of this weeks challenge on Illustration Friday was "Puzzled". Perfect!
Wow this is really great. Love the detail. I think it's a perfect response to the topic!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much!
DeleteIt really was a fortunate coincidence that "Puzzled" was the word this week.
What a good read. I must say he is probably my favourite literary character. Lovely illustration.
ReplyDeleteYeah. I really enjoyed reading the series. He's a fantastic character.
DeleteThank you!
wonderful, love all the smoke
ReplyDeleteThank you! For some reason it's kind of relaxing drawing all of that smoke.
DeleteOh, this really captures Sherlock's intense personality! The posture is especially great. And the eye, & yes, k.h., the smoke!!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a hoot when IF reads your mind? It's happened to me a few times too.
Thank you very much! I really wanted to capture that mindset he gets when he is on the verge of madness! haha.
DeleteYeah! That was super awesome when I read what the theme for the week was. I think I actually audibly cheered.
He looks so great! Love the shapes and colors, and his slightly crazed expression. Have you seen the British Sherlock Holmes tv show? It's quite well done. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah! I really like that BBC Sherlock show. It's a cruel torture that the seasons only go for three episodes though.
DeleteNice piece. And we all know what was in that pipe.
ReplyDeleteThanks! And I'm more worried about what's in the syringe in his arm, rather than what's in his pipe.
DeleteFantastic illo!Love the concept and style:)
ReplyDeleteThank you very much! I'm really pleased that you enjoyed it!
DeleteLove the drama of this! He truly seems on the edge of madness! Great detail in the carpet, & especially love the smoke!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I wanted to make him look like he was standing (sitting) at the edge of madness. haha.
DeleteAlways a pleasure to meet a Sherlockian :)
ReplyDeleteGreat artwork. Captures the essence of our favorite fictional detective!
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much! I'm glad it stands up to the scrutiny of a Sherlock fan! haha.
DeleteFinally watched the rest of "Sherlock". Pretty friggen great! I hope they make a second season!
ReplyDeleteOh, and your drawring is pretty kew.
The second season has already aired. It was also really good! I was quite pleased.
