A Study in Paper #4: They See Us Strollin'

[ldhenson]

So I promised myself I'd take a break from paper-cutting after this.

But then the new set photos from the Sherlock Holmes film sequel took up residence behind my eyelids and wouldn't go away.

Lit from the other side:

Not gonna lie, Robert Downey Jr.'s hair was, like, 90% of the motivation for this cutting.





Done on a 4.8" x 6.8" sheet.

Thank you!

Starsky & Hutch icon love!

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much!

The most grueling part of making this was having to stare at those pictures for a few hours. Oh my.

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

RDJ's hair is truly inspiring.

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Aw, thank you!

Getting Watson's scarf to be dimensional was the trickiest part, but I quite like the way it came out.

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Omg you might be right about that! lol

[quirkyotaku.livejournal.com]

Whoa. This is awesome.

I'm always proud of myself when I don't end up cutting a snowflake in half, so I bow to your abilities.

[raindropfloss.livejournal.com]

It's not even fair how perfect this is. That's amazing.

[starzangel1.livejournal.com]

Ok, I thought your others were amazing and I couldn't imagine better. But this, this is...is...phenomenal!!

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Heh, I was in Starsky & Hutch fandom before Sherlock Holmes, and now when I write certain friends we have to specify which "SH" we mean :-)

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

That's such a compliment, thank you! When I do these it's all about trying to get the characters and mood across.

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

Thank you! Even before I put pencil to paper I knew just how I wanted that hair. Oh RDJ, why so fabulous?
