Mister Holmes

Just a Sherlock portrait I did over the past couple days while rewatching BBC Sherlock >O< I originally started this with Copic markers but the facial features weren't on point. So I switched to digital, tweaked the marker work, and added some effects on SAI. Still wish I could have done better but I can't expect much from myself, being out of art commission all summer *shottt*

Edittt: I just had someone accuse me of tracing over the original ref image. I want anyone who views my art to know that I do not trace or manipulate the references I use. However, I did manipulate my Copic marker base to tweak the mouth/eyes/and hair which resulted in some inconsistent lines in the hair and texture. I can understand how it looked suspicious and have since touched up the lines where I had spliced my marker work. (cuz of course you can't erase marker so SAI came in handy there) Feel free to question me about my process, I'm happy to explain how I made this portrait! I'm flattered it was thought to have been the original ref picture, man.

Hope you enjoy a bit of art from me >////<
Don't know if I'll do another portrait soon but I do want to experiment more with my Copics!
