The Brothers Holmes: The Early Years, part 1 of 6, comic by Amy Crook
I’ve finally finished both of my 6-part The Brothers Holmes comic series for my lovely commissioner, Holly, and so this week and next you’ll get to see them! The originals are, of course, spoken for, but I’ll have prints up in my Etsy shop soon.
In this first half, we explore the early years of the Holmes brothers growing up together. Each of these comics is its own little moment in the lives of the brothers, and we start with Sherlock at age 3 and Mycroft at 10, taking his little brother for a walk. I can imagine Sherlock’s “why” stage was more annoying than most.

Don’t Bend John Watson sketch by Amy Crook
Poor John, he’s already got some awful bedhead, I hope the postal workers treat him gently on his way to his new home.
Happy Sunday!

Shut Up and Help for the Holidays,
Sherlock BBC fan art by Amy Crook
I decided I wanted a second Sherlock holiday card this year, and I decided it had to have Sherlock being his usual annoying self. I spared John any truly awful Christmas sweaters, but made him carry all the boxes.

Thinking in Grey

Thinking in Grey, Sherlock fan art by Amy Crook
Copic markers have four kinds of grey — warm, cool, neutral and toner. I used warm and cool greys to put in all shading here, giving the whole image a muted effect like an old photo. You might recognize the pose from last week’s bookmark, which was sort of practice for this bigger piece, though of course I widened the view quite a bit.

Sherlock Bookmark 5

Sherlock Bookmark 5 by Amy Crook
I couldn’t resist drawing up one of the iconic scenes from A Study in Pink, where Sherlock’s laid out on the couch solving his “three patch problem.” I’m inordinately fond of my Sherlockian stick figure cartoons, I must admit, but my lovely readers are, too, since he’s already sold!

Above, you can see a detail of his thinking face and fancy pillow. Below, he’s snuggled up to a book just waiting to go to his new home!

Tea or Death

Tea or Death, a Sherlock comic by Amy Crook
John is most displeased to have woken up to find all the tea in the house sacrificed to one of Sherlock’s mad experiments. Let’s hope for everyone’s sake that Sherlock errs on the side of caution and comes home with a nice big box!
