Description A portrait of British actor Jeremy Brett who, in my opinion, was the greatest screen incarnation of Sherlock Holmes ever. I used photo-reference for drawing this.

i loved the Sherlock Holmes series (JB at his best)that used to come on (i think sunday afternoons) way back when in the good old days of Doordarshan (in kol)...

Yes, that's when I got hooked too. And simultaneously reading the translated stories in Anandamela helped a lot.

Wonderful work! And I'm so glad to see such great art that's not a scruffy-looking dwarfish character.

"Brett, Jeremy Brett."

It's got a little James Bond-ish look in my opinion.

Good work, it's awesome! :thumbup:

Thanks, but I remember reading somewhere that Brett DID audition for the role of Bond - that too, twice.

Jeremy Brett was awesome! I read the Holmes stories when I was a kid and the series he was in was dead-on. I haven't seen the new Downey movie, and it looks fun, but it doesn't look like Holmes.

I saw the new movie last week. It's an okay steampunk thriller but not a Sherlock Holmes movie at all. Think of 'The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen' meets 'From Hell' - but in a bad, dumbed-down way.

Yeah, kind of what I figured.
