Description actor benedict cumberbatch (duh.)

i'm really happy with the nose/mouth area. hair, not so much. but then, hair is not my division
this wasn't how i expected it to turn out, i was going for realism, but then halfway through random blending i decided to add a bit of hatching to give it that sketchy look, so now it has both and looks kinda graphic-ish. i have no idea how to describe it. =/ then i was in a dilemma of whether to add that grey shadow thing to make the highlights on his face more obvious, which adds to that graphic-ish look. anyway. this is as daring as i am going to get with photoshop for the time being. it scares me. there are so many tools and so many brushes and colours and stuff i can never decide on using which. pencils are simple.

~ 6hrs, 4B mechanical pencil on A4 paper, photoshop

Wow, beautiful The job on the hair is great, I love the detail and smoothness. Also, I love your shading, and the job you did on the lips, just wonderful I like his gaze, look determined and pensive at the same time, and eyes are so very real Overall - I really love the whole thing

thanks! this might be one of the few drawings in which i am happier with the nose/lips than the eyes, usually i focus on the eyes and just kinda half ass the rest of the face, lol.

you can't tell from my drawing because i left it out but he's actually being seduced by someone and is looking into their eyes. like, uh, irene adler style maybe. LOL. so 'determined and pensive'... apt but in all the wrong ways? hahaha.

Haha, well, it sort of fits into seduction - careful attention and pensiveness in response to beind seduced
