Sherlock fanart: Evidence (a posteriori)

Oct 03, 2011 10:48

This image wouldn't get out of my head, so I had to draw it, but in a different style than I usually do fanart. And then ink it, but in a different style than I usually ink. And then lay down watercolors, but with a slower, more careful method than I usually paint. Also, I used about nine different reference images and did little side pieces to experiment with the new inking and watercolor techniques before I tried them on this piece. Also, I tried to make Sherlock's thoughts connect in an understandable way.

This is the most thought I've ever put into a piece of fanart and probably the most I've experimented on one piece in years. It didn't come out quite the way it was in my head, but I'm pretty pleased with it regardless.

And here's the Tumblr link, because I've fallen headfirst into that sucking void of fandom.
