Description
A Sherlock BBC papercutting featuring Sherlock Holmes and John Watson in front of their flat.It's a bit rough; if I were making a proper project of this I'd call this a draft and do another version with cleaner cuts. But for an experiment I think it came out pretty well.
Done with craft knife on regular letter-size paper.
Edit: Wow, a DD! Thank you to =xthumbtakx and ^FrockTarts , and to everyone for the lovely comments and favs! This paper experiment was the one that led to many more, so I'm thrilled that people like it so much.

At first I was like this: Is this Sherlock Holmes and John Watson?
I read the description and felt so proud of myself.

Oh good lord that's awesome, I can't help but smile when I see Dean & Sam, crazy bastards. You're really really good with this medium. I tried once and nearly sliced my finger tip off, will never try that again.

Thanks very much! Oh and I forgot this one: [link]
If you use a very sharp blade and not too much pressure, that can help.

I wasn't using much pressure, I just happened to think I knew exactly what I was doing and >.>; maybe I happened to look away for a subjective "split" second...lol. 
& that snowflake? Needs to be on my tree next year lol.

I new it was meant to be Benedict Cumberbatch (Sherlock) by seeing it out of the corner of my eye, before I even looked at it properly. Well done!

Thank you! Sherlock was a new fandom for me back then and I just had to do something

This is really cool. I'm impressed as my attempts at cut paper usually results in me bleeding but very awful lines.

Thank you!
Go slow and use a very sharp blade, that can help

It's amzing.
Also, it's a sham, because almost, almost, the first thought I had was, I can't even draw like this!
Really, perfect silhouettes!
