As an ardent fan of the character Sherlock Holmes, I recently decided to draw four actors as him who, in my opinion, portrayed him the best. (I called this endeavor of mine “The Case of the Four Best Sherlocks,” haha.) I just finished the last one and have uploaded them all to Flickr. Check them out and let me know what you think!

Also, to give you all an idea of what’s coming, here are some characters and celebrities I have lined up to draw: The Mandalorian with Grogu (this one’s next), actress Danai Gurira, actress Vera Farmiga, Tom Branson from Downton Abbey, Fox Mulder from The X Files, Walter White from Breaking Bad, Regina Mills from Once Upon A Time, Xena: Warrior Princess, Captain James Kirk from Star Trek: The Original Series, Darth Vader from Star Wars, Sister Jude from American Horror Story: Asylum, actor Vincent Price, actor Vincent d’Onofrio, actress Kate Winslet, and Dottie Hinson from A League of Their Own. :)

Very nice. I remember your earlier post from last month. Impressive.

I am very happy to see the much-deserved praise and support you are receiving. May I induce you to render 2 more strong women whom I like: Sandhal Bergman as Valeria, Queen of Thieves, in Conan the Barbarian, and Andrea Martin as Sister Andrea in the Paramount+ series, Evil. Both are EXCEPTIONALLY STRONG, ferocious women with hearts of pure gold and spines of pure Carborundum steel.

I believe you meant to reply to me. :) Yes, I would be happy to draw those characters. I'll add them to my list and start on them as soon as possible!

Thank you very much!

Cool. Who is the first one?

reply

[–] actionkamen (23176) 3 years ago

I think the first four are all Sherlock Holmes.

reply

[–] TheLovelyAnomaly (619) 3 years ago

The top four drawings are different actors who've played Sherlock Holmes. From left to right, there's Jeremy Brett, Basil Rathbone, Benedict Cumberbatch, and Jonny Lee Miller. :)

[–] samoanjoes (56645) 3 years ago

I can tell they were Sherlock, but I never heard of the first guy.

You've never heard of Jeremy Brett??? He's the ultimate Sherlock Holmes! I strongly recommend his tv series.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (56645) 3 years ago

I don't watch much TV, maybe that's why.

reply

[–] Stratego (30496) 3 years ago

He was also Freddy, Eliza Doolittle's suitor and Professor Higgin's rival, in My Fair Lady.

For future discussions, the only musical I will ever talk about is "The Lion King".

reply

[–] Stratego (30496) 3 years ago

I dislike the movie myself (same goes for The Lion King!), but it's a classic. You do know it stars Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison, right?

reply

[–] samoanjoes (56645) 3 years ago

Yeah. I just avoid musicals. I've hated almost all of them. "Grease" is the worst culprit.

reply

[–] Stratego (30496) 3 years ago

That one does have a few catchy songs, though.

reply

[–] samoanjoes (56645) 3 years ago

"We go together
like rama lama lama ka dinga da dinga dong".

Pass.

Better than listening to a guitar solo that lasts over 10 minutes!

(There's a KISS song playing on tv while I'm typing this!😆)

Very impressive!
I didn’t recognize Miller but only because I never watched that version so I don’t know the guy.

Keep it up👍

reply

[–] TheLovelyAnomaly (619) 3 years ago

Thank you so much! I really appreciate that. I would recommend checking Miller out. He gave the character emotional vulnerability and relatability while maintaining the character's eccentricities, and did so very well.

I will! 😊

[–] ShogunofYonkers (77369) 3 years ago

I’ve heard very good things about the series, I need to catch up.

I always favored Rathbone, he seemed the coolest to me but it’s like the James Bond question, ‘who was the best Bond?’

My sister-in-law LOVED the newer Sherlock so I’ll check it out soon, she’s pretty good at rating movies and shows

Thanks!

Jeremy Brett was the best Sherlock

reply

[–] TheLovelyAnomaly (619) 3 years ago

Agreed.
