Description
In case it's hard to tell, or if you just haven't seen s2e1 of BBC's Sherlock, that's Benedict Cumberbatch under all that fabric! ;DTook a break from some bigger projects to do this... I just wanted to draw his rather intriguing eyes (or just one of them) so I thought this particular scene would be perfect to reference.
Anyone else wonder how he was able to take on so many armed men... with just a machete? XD
- mechanical pencil on Moleskine watercolour paper
- editing & colour addition in Photoshop

You're Welcome
It's nice to hear of someone who likes to challenge themselves.
Eyes are the window to the soul. Many actors are instantly recognisable because of them.

This loaded up and I hadn't seen your comments. First reaction : WOW. Second reaction:....isn't that my baby Cumberbatch? AND I WAS RIGHT!! Without looking at your comments! So, either I'm obsessed, or you're very good at art (personally I'm going with both

Terrorists tend towards stunning disorganization. It wouldn't have been difficult to take them out with only a machete for Sherlock Holmes.

pffft
That being said, excellent job on this! Love that you got so much expression into only one feature of the face.

Ooo this is lovely C: Not just because it's of Sherlock, but the shading on the folds, the composition, and the muted colours with the bright eye are just perfect!
