Anonymous asked: Hi! May I ask how you make your little Sherlock characters? It's just that I've seen that style of little people for other friends before and I've always wondered if it was a website where you could kind of customize them. Or is it just a style? Any info you could give me would be awesome! Thanks!
Hello! You certainly may ask the question, but I’m afraid the answer is rather dull. There’s no magical website that makes them for me: I just draw them! I use Photoshop Elements and a Wacom tablet, but that’s it.
Getting the likenesses right (and I hope I manage to do this, at least some of the time) is mostly a matter of practice. I always spend a lot of time looking at reference pictures of the actors, trying to figure out what their most recognizable features are and how to cartoonify them. Obviously, in the case of Benedict Cumberbatch, a LOT of staring time is necessary, but I’m willing to put the work in for you, viewers. Only for you…
