Life Drawing with a One-Track Mind

Life drawing usually counts for the sketchbook but I don't post it because it's really not that interesting unless you were there and it might also violate LJ's nudity thing. Anyway, it also makes for some good doodling time as I'm all limbered up, so tonight yielded a predictable crop of Holmes.

Inspired by Ubiquitouspitt's retelling of Holmes' 'madness' in The Reigate Squires in which he knocks over a table and blames it on Watson. Waston was running into a naked lady (so like him!) hence the awkward posing.

Trying to incorporate Watson to the scene. Um ... he needs more work. (But he's so much less fun than Freaked Out Sherlock!) We'll just pretend he isn't burning his chin on the lamp, OK?

I've been there ...


My mental picture of Moriarty has him looking like Vetinari if he were played by Christopher Guest's Six-Fingered Man (he has a name, I don't remember it) so I am trying to make something up from scratch going on 'slightly reptilian' and 'a phrenologist's dream.' Unfortunately my Annotated Anthology Vol.1 doesn't go up to The Final Problem so I can't look up the text without trawling Teh Intarwebs which I'm not up for at the moment. Mleh. He also crashed my scanner. [shakes fist] Got it working again, though.
