Hello! I Really Love Your Holmes Art! Can You Please Give Some Tips Of How You Draw Holmes And Watson?🥺

I definitely bought this for the label, but now it’s reminding me of a fic in which Sherlock and John enjoy reading the blurb on wine bottles.

The wine is not helping me remember what it’s called though.

✨️Holmes's vanilla extract shenanigans✨️:

"As you know, however, it is not my habit to go after the small fish while the big ones are at large. Mind the vanilla extract!" [Holmes] yelled suddenly and pulled me backwards from the two paces or so I had taken in the direction of the house. "You might have fallen in," he gasped, holding on to me to regain his balance.

[...]

"I may write a monograph on it," Holmes said, referring to the vanilla extract.

[...]

There he stopped dead before the empty tracks as Gloucester stopped at the edge of his cliff. The vanilla extract ended here.

[...]

"There were at least three choices, any one of which would have served my turn. Without vanilla extract," [Holmes] added, smiling.

[...]

"But I place my faith in vanilla extract. I have conducted experiments - and, well, if it proves false, Watson, this is one case your readers will be amused instead of amazed to read."

I thought it would be funnier if I left it out, but the context for Holmes’s sudden obsession with vanilla extract is that he made Professor Moriarty step into a puddle of it without Moriarty noticing. He could then trace Moriarty all the way across the continent with the help of Toby, the dog. Holmes decided to use vanilla extract because the creosote he had used in The Sign of Four turned out to be too common a smell, so Toby got confused.

Reading Sherlock Holmes and there are so many scenes where Holmes is just at the foot of Watson’s bed, wide awake at a questionable hour like, “Hello, my dear Watson! I have studied bicycles all night!” What a little cryptid.

„I thought you reading a leitner and turning into a cat was funny at first. But now it’s becoming a problem, Martin.”

So since I mentioned it takes place in season 1… I think the image of Elias knowing that it’s Martin is really funny. Also thanks to @coworkerjonathan I am now a firm believer that Elias has cat allergy and wasn’t aware of it, so he is having A SHIT time at the archives now.

My approach to lighting: mix and match to find out what works. I've never been great at capturing realistic lighting so I just kind of wing it 🤷‍♀️

Soup…?
