Your Friendly Neighborhood Ginger

While I mostly find that quote up there like a big backhanded compliment, there's a part of me that finds it really endearing.

I think, the question is, can pure sunshine be a conductor of light? Because that's what Watson, especially David Burke's, is to me.

I started this study on the day Mr Burke's passing was shared publicly without knowing if I'd finish it, but I ended up chipping away at it light by little these past few days. I hope I have managed to do him even the slightest bit of justice 💛

Anyway, deets!

[ID: An assortment of details of the above illustration, each focusing on a different part of the image. In order:

1: Detail focusing on Watson's face. He's smiling gently, eyes closed.

2: Detail focusing on his hand holding the envelopes and a couple of beakers on the desk behind him, propped up by a metal stand.

3: Detail focusing on the microscope on the desk.

4: Detail focusing on the leg he's got crossed, painted in such a way that the sole of the shoe is facing the viewer.

5: Detail focusing on the other leg planted on the ground and the desk drawers behind it.
