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!

Wow, this is great! You're right, they both look a little more serious than they do in the reference image, but I like the change! It suits them both very well

Your art style is SO good! How do you manage to get it so that it seems like you've only used a couple of strokes? And how much time do you use on each of your drawings (i'm just wondering, because I really don't have much time to draw anymore, so I need to know how much time I should dedicate to art)?

Great, I haven't seen the show (sorry, I want to get to it!) But I really like this piece- the colors, the expressions, the texture. And random comment, I really like the depth you created with Sherlock's nose
