Description This was not meant to be anything but a sketch, it still is a bit unfinished here and there. My second attempt at drawing Sherlock Holmes - not terribly much better than the last one but hey, I'm getting there..
Here he is doing tricks for some of the Baker Street Irregulars and one certain Inspector from the Yard. I started by sketching the Inspector (Lestrade of course) and the rest sort of just happened around it.

That fits. Lestrade would be interested in the coin trick.
Wonder if Holmes pretended to find a coin in his ear?

Btw, was this inspired by the episode "The Sign of Four" when a load of children raided Sherlocks living room?

xD

Devilry In reply to MrsJokerQuinn [2013-05-15 20:54:57 +0000 UTC]

No it wasn't actually, this just came about from what I thought Holmes would do to entertain kids. Plus I wanted to draw Lestrade.

The smile on the 1st man from the left reminds me of the expressions Normal Rockwell used. Very well done(:

Wonderful! It somehow reminds me of Granada's "The Six Napoleons". 8D Also, Lestrade's expression is awesome.

It's one of my favourite episodes. Lestrade has some epic scenes in that and I just love the Magician!Holmes. xD

I knew that was Lestrade!!! This is awesome, I love how it shows both Holmes' kindness to the irregulars, but also Lestrade's quiet admiration of Holmes. You have several layers of meaning going on. It's lovely.
