Description An A5 Graphite drawing of Sherlock, as portrayed by the legendary Benedict Cumberbatch on the BBC show.
Tools used: Graphite pencils: HB, B, 3B, HB mechanical pencil, putty rubber.
Time taken: Didn't time it, but roughly 3-4 hours
I do not own the original photo that I worked from, but chose it because I just loved the effect made by having 2 light sources, either side of the face.

Nice pencil work! I'm particularly impressed with the shadowing around the chin.
