Happy Johnlock Day!!!

I know Valentine's isn't here yet, but I wanted to make a drawing for it anyway. So, Happy (very early) Valentine's Day!

I finished my Granada Holmes/Johnlock Valentine's Day drawing!! I hope you enjoy!! 💛💛

Holmes got his beloved poisonous flowers and Watson received some sweets. I love them.

The cafe is a cafe I use in my comics. It's called "Witches Cap - Cafe and Roast". Like I said in my last post, I always enjoy putting characters in it. [:

(Sorry for the wonky lines.)

(Edit: everyone is saying such sweet things, thank you lot so much!! 💛😭)

Inspired by the fabulous The Wizard of Baker Street by @calaisreno in which Sherlock is a down-on-his-luck wizard and John a cat (at least some of the time).

I was wondering about what the bathroom and toilet situation would likely have been like when Sherlock Holmes and dr Watson moved into Baker Street in 1881 (for fanfic reasons, obviously). An in-house bathroom and toilet have long been luxuries. My own parents have stories of not having a bathroom yet at home when they were young, and both grew up in the '60 in the Netherlands. They either had an iron tub filled or went to a public bathhouse, and the toilet was located in the garden. Both of them grew up working class, however. I imagine that Holmes and Watson's combined income would have made them middle class, so the Baker Street rooms would perhaps have been more luxurious.

Doyle thought it probably not appropriate or relevant to really directly discuss it in the stories, but there have been a few mentions of the possibility of taking a bath at Baker Street in the stories, for example when Holmes asks Watson why he would prefer to go to the Turkish bath over taking a bath at home in The illustrious client. I found this interesting article that discusses the likely bathroom situation at Baker Street!

"After 1870, a system of constant water supply began to be introduced to London, although it took over 20 years and a huge amount of pipe retrofitting to bring the “constant” to all of London. The West Middlesex Water Company supplied water to the Northwest section of London, including Marylebone (and thus Baker Street).  By 1891, 43 percent of the houses supplied by this company were on constant.  The change to the constant system involved the water company reworking its water main system under the street to each house and it required each homeowner to redo almost all of the piping system inside the house. The constant water system involved a much higher pressure of water, which the older pipers connected to a cistern could not handle. New fittings and faucets were also required inside the home when the conversion was made.

Thus, by the time that Holmes and Watson rented their rooms on Baker Street from Mrs. Hudson in January 1881, they almost surely had access to piped, running water and to a water closet in the building. More than likely, a room had been converted to a bathroom by the time they rented, but the “constant” water supply was probably introduced to Baker Street later during their tenancy.  The Canon suggests there was a bathroom on the second floor of 221B.  The precise location of the water closet(s) is not known."

Also, look at this victorian contraption! A hip-bath it was called. It just looks so funny

Merry Christmas! <3 This is my first post here on my main blog. I'm mainly active on instagram, but I'd really like to post my stuff here too. Starting with some warm cozy Christmas fanart can never go wrong.

Hurt my hand quite badly last night which means no scrapbooking for a while so I continued with the moodboards.

I can do that with one hand:)

Here is the Pink version.

I hope you will enjoy it.

W.I.P. drawing of Granada Holmes/Johnlock fanart! Don't mind my handwriting and odd colour choices at the moment. I just wanted to get some ideas down. That will definitely not be the final colour palette. I love these two so much, so I wanted to make an early Valentine's Day-themed drawing. They are at a cafe that is in one of my comics. I always love putting many different characters in it. Anyway, enjoy the W.I.P.!! 💛💛

(Sorry for the shit quality. Also, John got sweets for Valentine's Day and Sherlock got a vase of poisonous flowers.)

(I am currently drawing this half asleep, so I am sorry for the shit and wobbly lineart. [': )

Went on another brilliant Hidden London tour, this time of Baker Street Station. I love these tours because you get to visit parts of the stations that are normally locked away and discover treasures such as 1940s posters​.
