Description
A bit of a departure from my normal subject matter, I was commissioned to draw a picture of Sherlock and Watson cuddling on a couch right after Orlando Megacon. Not to bad...though I never want to draw that wallpaper again.Pen and Ink on Bristol Board

Thank you, the poses came pretty easily, finding photo-reference to match them was a bit of an issue though. And yes...engravers have been, in general, a larger influence on me than most other pen artists, but it's a niche I'm happy to fill

This is cute. I love how you've even got the soles of Sherlock's shoes in so much detail. Well done!

Yeah, detail has been kind of my rasion d'etre and my curse. But, I can't help it, I'm drawn (pun) to detail like a cat to kitty treats

Wauw, it's very beautiful ! Looks very original regarding the technique as well - you must be so happy about this result, it looks amazing (and have probably taken forever to Draw -espescially the wall paper -_-' )! <3

Well, thanks. I don't want to take too much credit for originality in technique, I've studied a lot of 19th century engravers/etchers and pen and ink artists, but I do hope I put a nice twist on it. And no, not too long to do...about two weeks, working in and out of my unfortunately necessary day job (no social life, mind).

Thanks again! I'm glad you like how the wallpaper turned out...I'm probably never going to draw that wall paper again! (going cross eyed should only happen once a week not every ten minutes...phew...)
