Description ARRGH my A4 scanner obviously can't fit an A3 drawing! sorry for the lousy quality. i'll take a picture or something later.

Fixed. It's a photo now, but the lighting is still kinda bad.

4B, 7B faber castel pencils on A3 drawing paper

edited to add an afterthought:

so, i've drawn quite a few drawings of BC (the most for an actor/character by my standards), and i STILL haven't figured out his face, how it's capable of looking stern and old in some scenes, and young and vulnerable in others. i get it if you're telling me it's the make up, or lighting, and actors do this shit all the time across films, but the keyword is 'across films'. BC does it across scenes. i don't know if it's the make up, or lighting, or the subtle nuances of BC's acting, but the whole arsenal of looks he has to get what he wants as sherlock is amazing and fascinating to say the least. it's the same face, you know. he doesn't put on a fake nose or re-dye his hair. but compare the reichenberg rooftop scenes with moriarty, and the one in which he's telling molly to 'break it up with jim' whereby she runs away and the look on his face as she dashes off. it fucks my mind up each time i compare these two faces of sherlock. i truly don't understand this man's face.

but it's good, because i'm not bored.

Don't panic... he is not descended from any earthmen at all,

'but was in fact from a small planet in the vicinity of Betelgeuse

and not from London as he usually claimed.

and he had worked hard to blend himself into Earth societyβ€”with, it must be said, some success.'

thanks! i feel the same, exact way. i'm sure lots of fans do, as well. good to know we're not the only insane people on the planet, LOL. i usually draw one or two of something i'm currently obsessed with, but not upwards of 10. >.>

This is gorgeous. So few people are able to capture the correct proportions of Benedict's face (which are quite unusual, and really *shouldn't* come together to be so beautiful, yet they do!). You did it perfectly - these are his features, everything is perfectly in proportion. Beautiful shading, fantastic textures, lovely work!

gunneos In reply to SherlocksScarf [2012-07-15 16:44:54 +0000 UTC]

thanks! yes, the features are beautiful indeed. and they look different every time, so it's like drawing a different person each time! i used a reference and to be honest it looks nothing like the original haha. he looks much less intense/sharp, more lost and vulnerable/soft in the reference. -shrug-

Simply stunning...
Beautiful work, love your shading. You're very talented!

And I so agree about Benedict's acting, the man is amazing! I already knew about him before Sherlock, after seeing Amazing Grace (love that movie!) and The Other Boleyn Girl and let's be honest; you can't not remember his unique name
I'm happy he's getting so much attention lately and the chance to play some amazing characters. In my opinion he's one of the best actors of all time.
The amount of emotion and character he's able to put into his performance is amazing, like you said he changes throughout a movie. Just look at some behind the scenes photos or video during Sherlock filming; when the camera's off: he's Benedict. But when he's doing a scene; he becomes Sherlock; his posture and gait changes, his face changes, his voice sounds different. Incredibly talented!

gunneos In reply to DutchOrca [2012-07-15 10:44:04 +0000 UTC]

thanks! i really love the changes whilst he's still in character! i've seen the behind the scenes where he's just benedict the actor, but like i mentioned also, there's emo-sherlock and there's fierce-condescending sherlock. maybe that's why he complements andrew scott's moriarty so much - they are both actors within their characters! i came across this making of picture with BC in costume and listening to directions, and it was truly strange because he seemed to be half in and half out of character while listening. there was this hardness to his face, but softness in his eyes. he was half-ben-half-sherlock, and... and i eat that shit up lol.

i shall not even get started on how different he is in atonement, as stephen hawking, and sherlock. thinking about it makes my brain want to roll over and cry.
