Description Sadly I cant make this look quite as good as it does in real life. After my computer decided it hated me and committed suicide, I dont have photoshop, to fix the levles.

Pardon my French..but DAMN that felt good!

I havent really drawn much in ages and ages, but I finally got that finger out of my arse and did something!
I re-watched Sherlock not too long ago, and I remembered how much I LOVE that show! Not to mention the Cumberbatch Although my favourite is Freeman (he's just the most adorable creature ever)

I also watched Star Trek 3 days ago, and I just HAD to draw Benedict! That man looks almost alien like, but in that really good way.

This is also one of my rare only BW drawings. I never used colour a few years ago, but they have gradually creped more and more into my drawings, to the point where a completely grey-scale work is rare I just felt he looked too serious for colour. Also I've used a smooth Bristol paper for this, and they dont like my coloured pencil much.

Not much to say about the drawing really..
A3 Bristol paper
Mars Lumograph pencils
My normal rubbers and blending tools.
A grid for proportions
Much time!

I hope you guys like it!

Wow!! Just wow! Words can't describe how much I love this. Do you have any tips for shading that you could give me? Thank you and never stop drawing!

Thank you so very much!
Lets see, for shading, try to build it up gradually. Dont press hard on the paper when you draw, but keep it light. That way it's easier to blend everything together. I try not to blend too much, just use my pencil to fill everything in thoroughly For blending I mostly use paper tissues and cotton swabs.

Girl, I'm speechless! This skin texture! Shading! Eyes! The nose If you say this portrait looks better in real, I think I'm going to break into your house and steal it

I agree with the alien-like part, hah. Poor Ben compared himself to a horse, tho

Woah. Glorious work! You exactly captured that serious expression he gets on his face in Sherlock. You know the one, where he's noticing things but keeping them to himself.
