A study of Sherlock Holmes

























 
 
A study of one Sherlock Holmes and the Hound of the Baskervilles.

These two elements are part of the same illustration, inspired by the classic Sherlock Holmes crime novel
the Hound of the Baskervilles.

Again, as in the Adventure of the Speckled Band, in
the Hound of the Baskervilles
the breed of the canine is not clarified, but instead we are only told that it's a big hound. After some research I decided that the Great Dane (aka Danish Hound) was a perfect candidate for the role as it's great in size and can look menacing, so I sketched my Baskerville Hound using the Great Dane as reference.
