Description Another Sherlock Holmes picture, because I'm currently quite obsessed. This time it's a quick one, without any details like in the last one. I'm seriously fed up with bookshelves.

This is Holmes as I always imagined him, before ever watching the Granada series (which I love). I think he it is much closer to Sidney Paget's illustrations than to Jeremy Brett, but still not quite the same.

EDIT: I completely revamped the whole picture - the old one was so bad, I couldn't look at it any more. I like this much better, although I still hate that sad excuse of a background. Unfortunately, the .psd-file died with my old computer, so I had only one layer, and doing a background would've been a real pain that way.

This Holmes portrait is truly beautiful! He looks as he should; in his 30's, impossibly intelligent, a bit arrogant and tired with overwhelming stagnation. Perfect!

well, this is really quite good. A lot like the way the great Mr. Brett himself described a young Holmes!

This is SO close to how I imagined him too! I wonder... have you been in my brain? lol
Oh- and his expression? Dead on! His eyes are such deep pools of profound intensity I could just... drown in them

This is just the expression of Sherlock I imagined, when I was reading the stories. I like the harmony of the colours and the smooth shading. Very well done.

That haircut makes Sherlock look strangely adorable and young. XD I like how the eyes are grey and they stand out just as they should.

Pale, languid eyes, long, thin face, tight lips...
I like it! You did a great job. I would have made his nose a bit more hawk-like, but it's still cool. X3

thank you very much!
ah, the nose was much more hawk-like before my boyfriend said it looked awkward, and i erased it and never again was able to re-draw it as good as before

This pic is interesting, as it shares features of both Brett and Paget's illustrations. The hair is very much like Brett's when he portrays Holmes as restless, yet the face is square, like Paget's drawings. All in all, a fantastic piece

thank you very much!
ah well, it seems Brett and Paget have influenced me after all, but what can I do... although I think that both Brett and especially Paget's illustrations show a much too healthy-looking Holmes, and I tried to avoid that.

Der oide Sherlock ghΓΆrt mal gscheit zum All-You-Can-Eat Chinesen eingeladen! Und dann zwei Bortolotti-Coups als Nachspeise.

Anyhow... sweet pic! Love the hair and the paleness of his skin. Great job on that one.
