Description
This is my piece for the Let's Draw Sherlock collaborative project! (The idea was that a bunch of people draw from the same reference photo but in their own art styles, to show and celebrate the diversity among Sherlock artists!) I've actually drawn from this same ref before , but it was in a much different style and a long time ago... just goes to show that there can be a variety of style even among the same person's art...Anyway, I changed up John's expression to be more serious, but otherwise painted it as close as I could, with some obvious color interpretation and tried out the 'loose brushstroke' look again. According to some people I somehow made them look rather intense and unsettling and ghost-like, hence the title. (I was definitely going for "murder" with the red streaks...)
Realize I haven't posted any Sherlock-related art for a long time... this was very fun to do and I spent about two days drawing this and could probably spend more but I barely made the deadline and I should really get back to solo show work... last frivolous painting I promise. Feel free to reblog And be sure to check out the other contributions!

Fantastic, this imagine is near perfection. I hold near to my heart the Sherlock Holmes series. I am fascinated by the characters and most of all the twists keep you guessing at the edge of your seat. And you my friend, I think you have almost given Sherlock Holmes Justice. With that stern look on his face, Watson's puzzled look, it really brings out alot of emotion. However you could have added something else to really make it scream out loud "im a subtle sherlock!!!" I know your thinking the violin? An aspect of his deduction methods? Well you're on the right track.
In advance I knew you would love my idea so I took the liberty to go ahead and make it and upload it, took a few days but i'm pretty happy.
Thanks for your time, p.s please send me your name and business address for tax purposes.
