John Watson Bookmark 1 by Amy Crook

And here we come to the very end of Bookmark Week with John Watson. He’s leaning against a cool grey wall, and he’s been colored all in warm and cool greys himself, even his face and hair, just like Lestrade yesterday. The skull is grinning white from above, though I admit I didn’t get too enthusiastic and do the wallpaper properly.

If you did want a bookmark of your own, you can check out the ones that are still available here. They make great stocking stuffers!

Above, you can see John leaning shyly against the wall, hoping you’ll like him. Below, he’s hanging out with a book, like bookmarks do.

The week is nearly at an end, and here we come to our Saturday Morning Cartoon, which is also already spoken for. DI Lestrade’s just leaning against the wall, checking his texts while he waits for something interesting to happen. I colored this one entirely in shades of grey, just like Thinking in Grey but without all the background madness.

Above, you can see the wee bit of warm grey in with all the cool ones, shading Lestrade’s otherwise white face and hand. Below, I put him with a book, just because I could.

The Brothers Holmes: The Later Years, part 6 of 6

If there’s one thing in the world the Holmes brothers can agree on, it’s that John’s fashion sense is a sartorial crime. I couldn’t imagine doing these comics without John making at least an appearance, and it felt appropriate for his awful brown suit from The Great Game to be the source of a single moment of brotherly accord. And an excellent note on which to end the series!

If you’d like, you can read them all over again here. Or, get your very own prints here in the Sherlock section of my Etsy shop. My wonderful patron, Caroline, commissioned the originals, but she’s willing to share!

Sherlock has been looking for a new flat when we first see him in the show. Here we can see how he got himself kicked out of his flat on Montague Street in the first place. I’m not sure what that slime is creeping down the stairs, but I’m certain it counts as more than a minor disagreement. And those trousers are ruined.

We’ve skipped ahead a few years to Sherlock’s very first encounter with Detective Inspector Lestrade, putting us approximately five years before A Study in Pink. Here you can see Sherlock with his proper swishy coat and bad attitude, and poor Lestrade finding out that it doesn’t do to ignore a Holmes when he’s got observations for you.

A few years into university, we find Mycroft back dealing with his little brother’s talent for making trouble. Here we see him trying out a line he uses frequently throughout his life, “It was an experiment!” I do wonder who won this battle of wills, what do you think?

Mycroft, ever the good big brother, has helped Sherlock move into his dorm room at university. Sherlock, of course, shows his appreciation with bad attitude. My personal favorite part are the textbooks, which include useful things like “SCIENCE!” and “More Science.”
