Good evening!
What's up?
I'm (obviously) a big fan of Sherlock, and Doctor Who too. I like to paint, I've been teaching myself for a year and a bit now. (I was gonna put a link to my latest painting but apparently I've got to make a few posts first!)
Good to be here! Looks like a very throrough and busy community.
Edit: Can I add images yet?
Edit2: More paintings and another

Re: Good evening!
Hello and welcome! What an introduction with such an amazing painting. How did you do it? (I like to paint, draw and such, too.)
Have fun!

Re: Good evening!
Thank you all! I'm actually currently hosting a writing competition, with paintings as the prizes. I came here looking for more people who might be interested in joining in, am I allowed to link to the competition in this forum? If so, where would be best?

Re: Good evening!
Welcome to the forum, Ape, your painting is amazing. We have a section "Upcoming events & Competitions" where you can post a link.
For your paintings you can use the Fan Art Section. I would love to see more of your works.

Re: Good evening!
Cheers! Right, posted it! I've only got the one Sherlock painting (the rest of my fan art is Doctor Who) but I'll certainly post the thing I'll be sending to the contest winners.

@ Mattlocked: Sorry, missed that you asked something! My paintings are done with acrylics. What do you do?

Re: Good evening!
Welcome, Ape! Hope you'll have a good time here!
That painting is beautiful! You're really talented! I love art! (I've recently picked up water colouring after a 10 year hiatus! I can only hope to reach half of where you are in a year!) Thank you for sharing your work!

Re: Good evening!
Not really; I've only been at it for a month and I'm only finding my feet. I'm pretty much trying to learn how to hold a brush at all...

Re: Good evening!
Sorry for taking a while to get back to you, got MRSA, lol.
@ Phantom Lady, good luck getting your sea legs! The brush will be an extension of your arm before you know it. Can't wait to see what you create.
@ Harriet + Tiggy Hello! Lovdely to meet you and thanks.
@ Mr Holmes himself, thank you! Have you seen the more recent two in the fan art section? I've started taking commissions recently. Apparently I've fairly recently crossed over the threshold of aptitude to make people interested all of a sudden, which has been fun! If you're interested in a painting or a print I can certainly arrange that, I've sent a few about.

Re: Good evening!
OMG THOSE PAINTINGS ARE GORGEOUS. So so so beautifully done!! Will you be doing this professionally? Because you really really should. That's talent right there! I think you've inspired me to take up the brush. (been dabbling with only charcoal and lead all these while)
Oh, and hello btw, haha nice to meet you! Terrible to hear that you were down with MRSA, that's one nasty bug we'd all like to see eradicated!
