Description
Amanda Cook and rocketorca , two of my favorite people and artists, each did a GORGEOUS drawing of Benedict Cumberbatch with ginger hair and elements of aqua, total coincidence. And I thought, Damn, my favorite colors and one of my favorite gents... I'ma join this party.I've got a print of Amanda's and one of rocketorca's on the way. Gonna hang them all together in my house. Gonna be so chic.
He has such a chameleon face. He can look butch or fay, or menacing or goofy, or elegant or darling. There's really no wrong way to enjoy your Cumberbatch. I like mine ginger and wrapped in a sweater.

Gorgeous. I love that combo of ginger, aqua, and some Cumberbatch. Omg, I'm imagining him drinking ginger tea now (my fav). Can you see that? Him in a scarf, holding a vintage thermos of ginger tea.

I. I. I'm speechless. He's so perfect! I LOVE him, and I love your version of him! (I also like my Cumberbatch ginger and wrapped in a sweater, but I'll take him any way

Thank you much! It would be hard to say no to Cumberbatch in whatever incarnation he chose.

I'm so impressed that you managed to make this look so much like him that I glanced at the thumbnail and my first thought was - "But Sherlock doesn't have hair and eyes that color!" So awesome. Lovely job.

I believe the preferred nomenclature is Cumberbabe.

oops sorry! Didn't mean to offend

Oh, no offense! I believe it was Ben Cumberbatch himself who came up with "Cumberbabe" as a gentler (and more awesome) alternative.

i definitely have a constant war going in my head between TOO MUCH CUMBERBATCH and NEVER ENOUGH CUMBERBATCH
you're helping my slow but steady slide towards the latter.
thanks.

I know that feel, girl. It gets more comfortable every day. Sometimes I'm like, Boy, you funny lookin'. Most days he's really visually relaxing.

I just watched the National Theatre's Frankenstein with him as The Creature today. It was the best performance on the planet, I'm pretty sure.

I love this man. Saw him and Miller in Frankenstein and he was the most amazing monster. I'm with you... my favorite is definitely ginger, though I prefer a winter coat and tie.

The colors are beautiful in this, it really picks out the color of his eyes, which in turn highlights the unique shape of them - and you captured that so well!

This makes me so happy. During my internet hiatus (which may still continue), I've missed you and your art, terribly. You are just too precious for this world, Lily.

Oh my gosh, this is so great. It just shows what a difference hair color can have on people. He looks so innocent, young, and carefree. You did an amazing job. : )

If you ever feel up to it, I would love to see a vid of you painting, or drawing, or something! I can not express how much I admire your art, and envy your skill.

I love how soft you've made his hair look. I just want to go crazy and run my hands through it a few times. But I can't reach through the screen. D:

This is just wonderous! I adore the shade you used for his hair and I think the aqua goes really well with the ginger and the brickwork which surprised me, because I wouldn't normally like those colours together. And the look on his face is <3

I don't have nearly enough aqua clothes (they don't MAKE nearly enough aqua clothes). Redheads look so good in aqua. Ahh, how could you not love aqua and orange and coral together? C: Maybe that's a tropical thing.

Yeah, I think it is. I'm more of an earth and rich tones girl. Sage green with purple is my favourite colour combination. You should buy heaps of white cloathes and dye them aqua.
