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! ;D

Took 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

Yeah, I agree, all that does sound rather too silly to have happened! But I'm a sucker for happy endings, lol! XD Anyway, thank you very much! ^^

beautiful! I am just wondering, how much sentiment did he put into Irene that he show up all the way somewhere in Saudi Arabia to save her...?

Thanks! I suppose that's the greater question, actually... After telling John, "heroes don't exist" , Sherlock definitely went and completely contradicted himself, eh?

Awesome work here! You captured Benedict's lovely eyes (or technically, eye)

He took out all those men cuz he's freakin Sherlock Holmes. It's the only logical explanation. End of discussion.
