The Best Man

Title: The Best Man
Characters: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, Mary Morstan
Pairing: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson (unrequited), John Watson/Mary Morstan
Rating: General
Links: Ao3 | DeviantArt | Tumblr
Notes: You look sad when you think he can't see you. Inspired by this photo of Martin and Benedict as John and Sherlock and all my post series 3 Johnlock feels. Thanks to those who provided feedback on prior drafts, especially [livejournal.com profile] tripperfunster and [livejournal.com profile] venturous1. As you can see, I decided to go with neither ink or colored pencil, so this was a bit of an experiment in a new medium.

Oh, that's wonderful. I love the emotion in their faces and especially their eyes.

Thank you. This was a bit of a risk for me. The eyes were my favorite part and that's where I placed a lot of emphasis.

*rubs hands evilly*

Excellent! But seriously, I poured a lot of my own Johnlock angst into this.

I poured all my feels into this one. And series 3 left me with so many angsty feels.

This is so beautiful,and you captured so much emotion in their eyes, especially Sherlock's eyes. Even his mouth is so full of emotion.

Those were my favorite parts to draw. There was a lot of other stuff that I let slide as long as Sherlock's eyes and mouth conveyed what I wanted.

I should probably work on the rest too in future.

You really captured Sherlock's eyes!

I loved the reference, and I love Sherlock.
