Today I decided that I should get back into drawing, or at least do some sketching. Unfortunately, I am not currently in possession of a scanner (or one that I can use), so I cannot show you all the way that my style has devolved into 'Urusawa on a Seroquil overdose' or as I like to think of it 'Maybe if I put enough lines down maybe one will

Um, hi. :)

I saw 'Sherlock Holmes stories' and had to stop. Have you read Katie Forsythe? She is basically the most incredible author in that fandom, imo, and she has a ton of completed stories. If you haven't read her, I highly, highly recommend.

I'll definitely have to check her out. I'm always up for a little Holmes/Watson.

Whoops, forgot to give you a linky.

She's on LJ and just really fantastic. Like, without fail. And there's a ton of fic. Enjoy!

I googled her, actually. She has podfic! :D

Oh, hey, that's you on Twitter! I was wondering who that was. :D

Brooker has a really distinctive face, I think. Whereas Mitchell is at first glance fairly nondescript (except for the nose) and improves upon multiple lookings-at. (I say this as someone who can't draw for shit, though.)

I really need to download Heresy.

[carolpent]

Yes, it is me! :3

Yeah, that's definitely true. That and it's much easier to draw someone if you can get their appearance down to a doodle rather than having to actually think about drawing a person.

It's on the iPlayer!

Holmes has been my homeboy since sixth grade. :U Yeah, I've been hogging him. Sorry. I'll send him your way now.

(I do not have a Holmes icon, wut?)

[carolpent]

You do, however, have a lovely icon of the Doctah. (is it just me, or does he have less eyebrows than he did when I last saw him?)

Squeeflailing is integral to all true works of art. Also, yay, finally I'm not the only person I know IRL who likes him! I tried to get other people into him and it didn't really work. Maybe it's because they were in the anime club.

Thank you! People are hard to draw, aren't they? :P

I might have been a bit inspired by one of the anon meme prompts...

Touche. I was more thinking along the lines of 'A Study in Scarlet' and 'Five Orange Pips'. Though the latter is pretty justified.

[carolpent]

Whaaaat?

I was actually thinking more of the victims, who really were stock villains.
