My First Proper Introduction To Sherlock Holmes Is Actually Quite A Cute Story.

My first proper introduction to Sherlock Holmes is actually quite a cute story.

I've always been vaguely aware of Holmes as a silhouette of the world's greatest detective in fiction, but it wasn't until 2013 I was properly introduced through the BBC show.

When I was little my mum entered early retirement (not in a good way). She has always been a night owl, and started staying up very late after her retirement. So when I, at about 6 or 7, started having trouble sleeping (I still have at times) I would join her on the couch. She loves a good crime show, especially british ones. I still prefer them to danish dramas. There's room for more whimsy I feel, which was much more intriguing to a seven-year-old than Nordic Noir. We'd watch all sorts, Lewis, Vera, Broadchurch and a favourite of mine: Midsomer Murders.

I know I was a bit young for blood, death and crime, and I do believe that is why I remember the british ones better that the danish ones, but I vividly remember what must have been the 21st of december 2013 when DR1(danish tv channel) aired A Study in Pink. I was 10, we were on Christmas break, and I couldn't sleep. I absolutely loved it! The rest of the first series aired the following days. And when I was 13 we finally got Netflix and I watched the rest of the show(a bit disappointing, in remembering the first series), and I've loved the characters and stories since!

So I have my dear mum to thank for my love of SH. I believe her first Holmes was Jeremy Brett, as she has commented warmly when I've put on Granada Holmes. It really is a generational thing with good ol' Sherlock Holmes!

Doctor Who fandom, glad we can all agree on

anyways! Sherlock fandom!! how did you get into Sherlock? was it always a book/show that interested you? did you only recently get into it or have you been a fan for a while??

tell you what, and i'm not proud of it, but my first Sherlock Holmes thing i watched was...Sherlock Holmes and The Great Escape. yes, the furry Sherlock. I BET YOUR REASONS ARE BETTER!!

If Mariana has a million supporters, then I am one of them. If she has only one supporter then that is me. If Mariana has no supporters, then that means I am no longer on earth. If the world hates Mariana, then I am against the world.

Reblog art guys. Seriously.

yeah i wasnt really sure what to do with this artwork

one without text :thumbsup:

I love them so so so much. Well done.

My comic for The Retired Colourman! I love this scene between Mariana and Sherlock sm

Done with my Golden Pince-Nez Sherlock & Co. art!! I am pretty proud of the "early morning but not-quite-so-bright" lighting. Some lines and shading are messy and a bit wonky, but oh well, I am pretty happy with it overall. It was really fun to do.

I just loved the cathedral scene and John's monologue so much that I had to draw my version of it.

Anyway, I hope you lot enjoy!! 💛💛💛
