Description I painted this for "Untitled tv still", but I abandoned it cause the angle of the face wasn't right for the overall picture. And he started to look a tiny bit like Dustin Hoffman.

I thought that it would be funny to take small video clips and paste in Colin's face for all the charcters  --- even Mrs Hudson. LOL! That would shake up my FB and Tumblr pages.

Do a very good Lestrade (Colin Jeavons) and let me put it on my Facebook group page. "In Honor of the Great Colin Jeavons" I have friends and family members of Mr Jeavons on my page. His son Saul is on the page too. I would like to show the family and friends just how much Mr Jeavons is appreciated. You are welcome to join my group, and welcome to post. Please watermark and credit your stuff.

In fact, CJ himself could portray SH<3

He could, but he's a bit short... well not as short as Robert Downey Jr, come to think of it!

He can find a shorter Watson xD Anyway, Watson seems even taller in some Strand's illustrations.

True, or his Watson could stand in a ditch. Watson is indeed very thin and elongated in the illos, a far cry from Rathbone's jolly doctor who set the standard for a while.

Wonderful... wonderful... Wonderful !!!
Gosh... this perfection... fantastic, brilliant!
Do not worry that he might look a bit like Dustin Hoffman... For my part, I can see nobody else than flawlessly drawn 100% Jeavons!Lestrade with a gorgeous Isn't-that-ironic-sad-expression in his face!

Sigh, your gallery is a true feast for each Lestrade-fan... Thank you for this!

Thank you very much! While I was painting this my brain just went "Dustin Hoffman, Dustin Hoffman" and I had to stop and begin anew. Glad you only see Lestrade!

What can I say, I'm glad you as a fellow Jeavons!Lestrade-fan have discovered it! I am just in love with his face, it's a great face to draw and paint.

He is a face made for camera and is hell of a fun to draw. It's so peculiar!
And I like your drawing!
