Gorgeous and compelling. I love it.

Wow, gorgeous.

Wonderful perspective in the drawing, placing us in John's point of view, Sherlock stark against the light of the window. And you summed up a great deal in just a few lines of text, complete with a happy ending. Lovely!

Gorgeous!

This is absolutely wonderful! I love black and white images, and the contrast is perfect in this context. Without seeing's John's face, I know exactly how he's feeling. Beautifully done, emotional and engaging.

Your shading and use of light is gorgeous. I adore Sherlock's silhouette and how dynamic the perspective you've chosen is.

Yay thanks!

Thank you. I was aiming for a quiet yet emotional moment, but I wasn't sure I could do their facial expressions justice, so yay for backlight and perspective!

[fictionforlife.livejournal.com]

Thank you, glad you approved :)

[fictionforlife.livejournal.com]

Mission accomplished!

[fictionforlife.livejournal.com]

The main reason why I love drawing with ink so much is that there's so much poetry and beauty that could come from something as simple as black and white, and it's so perfect for drawing raw and emotional moments.

Thank you!
