Surprisingly quick drawing, only 4 hours of work. Proportion issues and other mistakes aside, I quite like the outcome of this. Particularly as I spent less than half the time I usually end up using on drawings.
I know a lot of my stuff looks the same lately; sorry about that. I haven't any excuses.
That surely would be the kind of birthday Sherlock likes best, not too much people, not stupid fuzz, but someone you love opposite to you and good tea. I love the whole "quiet" (I don't exactly know how to describe it, haha) atmosphere, that's really peaceful and the dim colours!
Aah goodness, thank you! It's exactly the atmosphere I was going for - and I thought this would be just the thing for Sherlock; just John showing he knows, nothing grand or even a spoken 'Happy birthday' or anything. Glad you agree, haha!
