This is Sidney Paget (as you said)

This is Walter Paget, his older brother

And these are some of Sidney Paget‘s illustrations of Sherlock Holmes

So while Sherlock may have some resemblance with Sidney too, his design is said to mostly be based off Paget’s older brother

I think at the end of the day some of his own features probably ended up mixing their way into his drawings even if he technically wanted to base him off Walter lol

why are we letting Sidney paget’s drawings influence us so much. He was literally just drawing himself as Holmes

He just did a shit ton of self portraits man
