For some reason I don't seem to be able to find this tree that I drew last year, anywhere in here.... <.<

It is also impossible to scan the metallic wonder that is the sheen in this ink. Suffice it to say that this particular ink is one that actually lives up to the hype.

Vista da sacada do quarto - Grande Hotel de Ouro Preto - Minas Gerais

Caneta Tinteiro LAMY - Ponta Fina

Inspiration: BBC Sherlock Holmes series + cats

Materials: Pentel 0.3 HB, Platinum Carbon fountain pen in a Stillman & Birn, Epsilon sketchbook

Location: home

Notes: I saw a really cute pair of digital illustrations by Taryndraws on tumblr, and it featured Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson as felines ( wearing the ubiquitous muffler and jumper) ....I loved the idea. However I prefer to reimagine them as pets in their household, reflecting their humans personalities. It would make a great story to have a pair of kitties solving mysteries amidst the usual chaos of 221 B Baker St.
