--THE THUMBNAIL IS DUMB! PLEASE FULL VIEW PLZ--

Basil Rathbone.
You can probably tell what role he's famous for just by looking at this. ...or the title. <_>
Anyways... He's a pretty classy guy, especially if you're into the ol' black and white movies of the 40's and such. [Haha, I feel old...]

Didn't use any refrences for this piece. Not even for the violin... So it turned out looking like a ukulele-violin hybrid instead... *le facepalm*

Expressing colour through greyscale is alot harder than I thought it would be, but I wanted to emphasize the "classy old-school" look for this piece. I couldn't decide if I was going for a picture of Rathbone or of Holmes, so I suppose it's a combination of the two. Or something like that. ...Mhmm.

And yeah... I had trouble drawing shoes, so he's wearing slippers. They were originally the stereotypical pink bunny kind [that all middle aged men own], but I changed it because it was a bit too silly here.


Drawn + inked by hand.
Tones + "colouring" via computer. No tablet/touchpad used.
Was watching Moulin Rouge when I made this... lol

Wow! Great linework. I love how everything loops and 'strikes', as it were. It's very visually appealing. You have a great sense of character in your art, Miss DJ.

And for no refs, that violin is pretty awesome.

...Who's Rathbone?

I like drawing curls, and sometimes I can't help but put them into my sketches :]

Yesss. Actually... Speaking of ukeleles reminds me of this kid in highschool who had an electric ukelele. He was so weird... but so cool at the same time!

OH~ Basil Rathbone is was an actor. Guess I shoulda mentioned that XD
