Description
had to get that great theatre experience out of my system. so danny boyle hasn't lost his touch for directing theatre after "slum dog millionaire" - even if several supporting roles could have been given more depth.i saw that guy above in the "creature" part, but wasn't in the mood for drawing sutures. and i do have a feeling quite few females out there appreciate his face unblemished.
update: this drawing was up for auction supporting japan's earthquake/tsunami/nuclear meltdown victims and will be shipped to a generous bidder in virginia, usa. a heartfelt thank you to all who participated!
disclaimer:
benedict cumberbatch belongs to himself, mary shelley's "frankenstein" is public domain since she's been dead for quite a while and this drawing is mine (at least for now). do not rip/copy/whatever without my written consent.

I actually had one of those 'I MUST have favourite-d this already... oh wait!' moments with this. Another amazing one. (and everybody likes a bit of charity-cumberbatch!)

Gorgeous. Amazing mix of stunning detail and graceful sketchiness. I'm so mad I'm on the wrong side of the pond to see Frankenstein!

glad you like it.
five times??? that's what i call a devoted FAN.

Im not going for the actor even tho that is a nice bonus, I just love the production and the story, its one of my fav books.But to get ticket Ive been up at the crack of dawn to get day seats.Even Benedict said I should let other ppl see it, which was embarrassing.
This is an idea maybe you could do a pic of him as the creature.

i wouldn't have told the actors you've seen the production *that* often. i can understand your motivation, knowing that even video captures of life events just AREN'T THE SAME, but out of context it appears a tiny bit stalkery. *giggle*
i was thinking of drawing the creature or at least sketchy impressions of some scenes - especially since it is the version i attended. let's see if i can find the time to do so...

he asked me how many times Ive seen it? I probably wont see the show again and Ive only met him twice, Im not a stalker and Ive seen shows like phantom, Les Mis and LNDS double the amount of time,it just like the story and the production is very clever, if the production continued after May I would still see it, no one is bigger that the show.If you do get round to doing it I look forward to seeing it.

Nice use of shadows and highlights, it makes this piece look well composed!

hehe, glad you like it.

I love the sketchiness of it, yet how incredibly accurate it is. You can instantly tell it's Benedict. Fantastic job. I quite like the way you played with light, too!

Absolutely beautiful. Ah, thanks for informing us about Frankenstein. I'm currently living in Germany, so this makes me super excited...

There are showing in MΓΌnchen (Munich), Frankfurt, and a couple other places. I should be able to reserve tickets. As for why I'm Germany, well, it for Da's work.

really??? i didn't know they were showing in germany. that's great news! can you refer me to website with dates and locations? i might be interested in seeing it again, maybe with switched roles this time...
π: 0 β©: 1
oh thanks!
to bad many german cinemas only show the first option (which is today ... or more like ... now ... %T&E§&!!!!).

Tell me about it.

well, guess it wasn't supposed to be. and maybe some theatres will show it next week...

Wow, lovely drawing, appreciate looking at him indeed!
I wanna see Frankensteiiiiiiiinnnnn.....

thank you kindly.
i heard there would be life shows in some american theatres, too. maybe the national theatre london will get greedy enough to produce a dvd. i'd certainly buy it - great perfomance that it was.

See... this is the wonderful work I was talking about. It's a dead on likeness and I like the hatchwork.

mostly practice, i assure you. i guess you always prefer what doesn't come easily to yourself. i do envy your talent for comic and street art style. i really suck at that free abstraction thing...
π: 0 β©: 1
That's ok, I really suck at it sometimes too! If this is practice, then I can't wait to see the real thing. I guess I envy your ability to capture a person in a portrait. The contrast is interesting. It feels very strong, perhaps because of the shadows, but his expression is soft and light. It's a cool balance.

the description does sound familiar. but rather from here: have a look at his work, THAT is amazing realism.
