Description

"I only caught a glimpse of her at the moment, but she was a lovely woman, with a face that a man might die for."

The Folio Society Book Illustration Competition longlist is officially out I can finally share the exciting news: I've been longlisted!
I wasn’t planning on entering this year, but when I read that the subject was Sherlock Holmes I just couldn’t resist. Had to be done.

See all the entries at competitions.houseofillustrati…

The skin of a fox is an appropriate adornment for her.

This is probably my favourite of the three illustrations.
I love the movement, composition and colour scheme. The way you drew her fits so perfectly the little quote you used from the book. That tiny glimpse of her eye really captures that she is a woman to be reckoned with.

Thank you!♥ I didn't want to give away her face - after all, Conan Doyle never describes her clearly, she's always been a mysterious character and I wanted her to remain that way!

Well done, the way you portrayed her is absolutely perfect in my eyes!
