Description I have to admit that I didnt want to like Benedicts portrayal of Sherlock - the whole idea of a modern day Sherlock filled me with dread.  However my daughter loved the programe and persuaded me to watch.  I am glad she did  I knew he was a great actor, but he certainly made the role his and used the brilliant writting to its full effect.  So this picture is dedicated to my daughter who introduced me to a modern day Sherlock

Drawn on my usual Britol Board Smooth with Faber Castell pencils and about 30 hours of work.

Wonderful work as always Paul!
Beautiful tones and details but for me you've captured his personality/soul which adds more depth to the portrait.
I know Alex loves her drawing!
