Saturday Holmes

[tealin]

After catching up with four hours of Holmes plays I'd missed on account of not having RealPlayer at work, there was only one possible subject for my sketchbook last night:




Yeah yeah, he looks like a cross between Jacques and Otto, and is veering too old, but it's a start! Yes? I do like my Watson, he looks more like how I picture him in the plays and text without quite so much of the stereotypical pudgy old man. Is the moustache canon? I don't remember a specific mention of it but it seems to be pretty universal.

Oh, and what would be complete without Mycroft? Tee-hee.

If you want to give yourself a treat (before Wednesday and Thursday, respectively) listen to The Final Problem and The Empty House. Yay character development! Sir Conan Doyle is so mean to Watson.

I have any number of rational excuses for not sketchbooking on Friday but none of them matter; suffice it to say discipline is severely lacking in the sketchbook camp this year. I will do a compensatory page today and then ... try ... again.

Yeah, I need to work on giving him a bigger forehead – all my characters have very high eyes and narrow foreheads so this will be a good excuse to break the habit, but a little difficult.

Thanks for liking my Watson! This obviously isn't his battle-scarred-and-bedraggled self from A Study in Scarlet but more like when he's married and settled down a bit... Anyway, he's fun, despite (or possibly because of?) all his abuse.
