    Default Redraw of Apothecary and Haberdashery c. 1890

    The original drawing had early automobiles in it. This redraw with numerous changes in it, has a "hack" instead.

    Changes include: NO bitmaps, a few items added in the windows of the shops, a woman in the upstairs window opposite of Sherlock, Professor Moriarty walking down the street, a rat, a chip in the sidewalk curb and a few color adjustments.

    Hope you like it...

    Some close ups...

    Not so strange, as I see some things I still want to edit or change, but that's me for you...

    I like it Ron, even better than the original.

    Never give up. You will never fail, but you may find a lot of ways that don't work.

    Even better! And fantastic detail. BUT, the guy on the bicycle should be bigger since he is nearer the viewer.

    Ok, I added an "overlay" transparency to the overall drawing, enlarged the bicyclist for proper scale and redressed the lady on the street leaving 221 B Baker Street address. Her previous attire was not era specific enough, I thought. I did a little research on the ladies dresses of the period and came up with this current version.

    Ok, I'm really close to done.
    I added some chips and cracks in the sidewalk, some litter in the street, and I thought the windows above the haberdashery were too plain, so I added framing to those. I moved a couple of things. Changed the font on the apothecary name and changed the haberdashery sign name and font. I think that's all...

    Lot's of stuff going on, even a rat in the gutter! Great work, Ron!

    One thing I would change is the white stucco. It's so light that it makes my eyes want to go there. This might be a good thing, however, if you want the viewer to spot good old Sherlock (?) behind the window.... Another thing is that I find the stucco's texture a bit too blurred when compared to the sharp renderings of the rest of the background textures.

    Good observation , Boy. I''ve had real difficulty trying to replicate the effect as shown in photos.

    Thanks Boy,
