Description
Ben Cumberbatch in a peacoat. Who doesn't look sort of regal in a peacoat? Have we had this discussion before?The halo isn't really significant, just that I tend to want to throw a halo on everyone I ever draw. It looks appropriate, and he seems like such a nice fellow, so. I regret nothin'.
It's rare that I have an image I want to put down and then just sit and do it exactly. It always feels like such an accomplishment. This is one of those, and it's something I've wanted to draw for years, not necessarily Cumberbatch, but somebody standing that way. Finally it's done, and I don't have to think about it anymore.
materials: ink, paper + PS8
music: Massive Attack, "Psyche (Flash Treatment)"

The halo is lovely. I have been meaning to draw a portrait with a halo myself and have yet to get around to it. You've inspired me to get on that asap! lol

This is bloody gorgeous! *___* Especially nice job on the hands - people tend to draw people's hands too small or otherwise wonky.

Whaaaaaaaaa...
Oh my God suddenly I don't even mind the sideburns! Bloody hell, you're a downright miraculous artist!

But how could you ever not love the sideburns?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I don't know!! It's just not my thing, I suppose.
Maybe because a friend decided to let his sideburns grow out and they... failed, to put it mildly.

I should probably put it on my wall somewhere to see it every morning

I get those images types of images in my head, where you have a particular mood or scene you want to convey? Only I have to wait for my art level to increase before I try XD Nice pose, his eyes are frikken' beautiful.

Shit, NPH is clearly the most perfect human being alive. If I tried to draw him, my paper would simply burst into shreds of light.

Coming from YOU, Ms. Hot Pink Cumberbuns, that is quite the compliment. C:
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, trust me there's much more to the compliment - I just can't manage to get it all out without babbling like a madwoman! Good god! You've captured his face, and those hands beautifully.
Ms. Hot Pink Cumberbuns? Thank you, for the new name madame!

Hee hee! Oh my god, I want so desperately to check out your new piece, but my husband has been parked in his chair right behind me for HOURS, and if I pull that up, I will never hear the end of it. I already mention Cumberbatch often enough that J refers to him as my "boyfriend". Ugh, those heels look delicious in the thumbnail, though!
And thank you! I totally fudged the hands, but it just so happens that his and mine look a lot alike, so all's well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Fudged the hands? FUDGED THE HANDS!!! Noooo, I wanna pour some hot fudge on those hands and slowly like it off -ahem- you certainly did those hands justice!
Indeed, it seems you have caught the Cumbercurse. Welcome. And of course there's heels. Heels, riding crop, and butt. That's all I'm good for I'm afraid XD
P.S. I just found your tumblr, how I didn't notice it before is beyond me! Read through some of your posts, the ones about your hubby are heartmeltingly adorable :}
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ha! X) You're adorable. And saucy!
I have definitely been Cumberbatched. It feels so, so naughty to look through your gallery, but I do when I need a dirty little pick-me-up. I hope you never, ever stop. I hope it only gets kinkier! I have to be full honest, though -- the man is such a broomstick, I have trouble believing he has as luscious a bottom as the way you draw him. He needs to be fattened up!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, trust me. It shan't stop any time soon and things can only get kinkier from here. Hahaha, the first series of Sherlock he was definitely a stick. He has since gained some Cumbermeat on those thin bones - THE BUM EXISTS [link]
Hrmmm ... still. It is possible that I do get a bit carried away with the bum!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ugh, I wish I could PAY you for what you do. It's worth my cash money. And you make me want to draw dirty Sherlock stuff, but I don't think I have the stones for it. ;D And hey, even if you do get carried away, it's a public service.
Oh man, I heard that the man lost weight to play Sherlock. It almost broke my heart in half. I think you know how I feel about people eating (or not eating). I want to see John tie Sherlock to a chair and coerce him to have cake, Truth About Cats & Dogs style.

OH MY STARS!!! You're the sweetest! Coming from you, I think my heart has given out with joy. Oh, and whilst it's on my mind I haven't forgotten your request, but YOU! You contribute to the dirty Sherlock stuff ... please c:
And yes all the way to the cake coercion!

I clicked on it because I thought "Hey, that looks like Benedict Cumberbatch!" Lo and behold...
It's really well done.

This is beautiful, his district face and the pea coat, just awesome all around. I've been in a bit of a drawing funk and this make me want to draw my characters. Your stuff inspires my creative mind as always.

That is my all-time favorite thing to hear! That you feel inspired, not that you've been in a drawing funk.

My southern boy makes me wanna work on my stories but then he just becomes plain distracting. Curls, cowlicks, freckles, dimples and a southern accent to boot.

So, did you know that this has made it onto the Sherlock facebook page? It just popped up on my dash there tonight.
Btw, I love all the interpretations of this that have popped up on tumblr. Fascinating.

Oh, whoa! Wow! Would you be sweet enough to send me a link to the FB page? I'm not really on FB, so I wouldn't know where to look for it.
Yesh, I've been loving what people feel about this. Makes me want to do nothing but halo'd people from now on!

[link] I hope this works. Sorry, I've not been on dA recently.

FEH. And this is why I hate Facebook and the Facebook generation. ;| Is everyone on there roughly thirteen?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope, that would be Tumblr. I feel ancient on there.

Tuh! I'm nearly thirty and Tumblr has served me well.

I think what I love the msot about this is all the buttons and the fact that you kept his ginger-ness.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
When I was growing up, someone told me I could never date a redheaded boy because people would assume we were brother and sister. So I dismissed every ginger boy I knew, until not too long ago...

Awww, sucks that people are silly like that.

Except Cumberbatch and I do look more than a little alike. ;D I'm considerably fatter, of course, but it would be hard to not be fatter than him!

Mister-I-go-on-a-diet-to-play-holmes-because-he-should-look-bony? We ALL look skinnier then him.
