I am a full on history geek, so obviously I love a bit of Sherlock Holmes. Love the books, love the film, love the BBC show. So I decided to do a doodle on it.
So here is a drawing of Benedict Cumberbatch (best name ever) and Martin Freeman. Is it odd I have a big crush on both? Yes, it probably is. Oh well.
I have become obsessed drawing people in this way. My line work is fairly harsh and cutting, but I have avoiding anything 'emo' or scary. Just because something is a little harsh looking doesn't mean it isn't beautiful or interesting.
Coats and fabrics are also amazing to draw and paint. Do it. It's very theraputic.
My name is Ruth, and I'm a freelance illustrator and artist living in London. This blog documents a mixture of my illustration work, sketched reviews & life in the big bad wonderful city of London. www.ruthjoyce.co.uk

The Twenty-Fifth Doodle
I love drawing people. Love it.
Now don't get me wrong, I have gotten much more open minded in my old age (oh lord I will be 26 this year ahhhhh). I have become facinated by buildings and even animals, things I used to hate to draw. But essentially, my soul is still in people.
The muscle structure. The way the light reacts to skin. Hair and how it moves. Those beautiful folds in shirts that we would never normally notice, until you really, really look. Eyes. Lips. Necks.
Amazing. People, you are all GORGEOUS to me.
