Description
Amazing Benedict Cumberbatch as Christopher Tietjens from the great miniseries Parade's End.
Follow me on IG! I'm more active there and also post WIPs and other content!
Similar to the previous one, semi-detailed on A5, based on small, bad quality screencap. Hate that I had to put this in fanart because the ref is from a miniseries. My intention was to draw Benedict as himself, not in character, sort of a little study, while the ref is one I instantly took a mental screencap of while still watching the scene. It was kind of that!, that precise expression.
HB, 4B 0.5 mechanical pencils | H, 2B, 3B, 5B, 7B, 8B pencils | A5 Canson fine grain paper | kneaded, stick eraser | ref (screencap)

Benedict Cumberbatch je uvijek dobar izbor za modela s obzirom na to koliko je zgodan

Puno hvala, drago mi je da ti se sviđaju moji radovi.
Benedictov dobar izgled jer jako stvar ukusa, ljudi ga ili obožavaju ili im je super odbojan, nema sredine.

Holy cow! Your shading technique is amazing. And the eyes are... Holy cow.
You've rendered me incoherent. Well done!

I'm very happy to see something new from you! The texture of the skin is amazing as always. All these wrinkles on his forehead and chin are wonderful
It took you 3 months to complete? I had the same with this colourful A.Turner drawing, but I can beat you and myself, too, because a double Kili pencil drawing [which I haven't uploaded yet] took me 5 months 
P.S. I know it's not Sherlock, but as Ben plays him, the drawing fits in this collections of favs

Thank you very much!
Yeah, but in my case there is no excuse for 3 months on only semi-detailed, hardly my best work, A5 drawing. 3 months and only a few days spent actually working on it. Still it was a lot of hours, don't wanna know how much. Double Kili? Let me see, let me see, let me see!!

You're very welcome 
Well, here's the excuse for you: you've been watching many tv-shows in search of new screencaps
Hah, sure, I'll send it to you in a private message, but only a WIP, OK? Hope you'll forgive me, I like to keep my works unseen until I publish them 
No problem at all! I "produce" a lot of drawings [or I rather used to], so it's hard to comment on them all, moreover, it's not your obligation!

You really don't have to, I'll wait patiently with the rest of people. 
Good thing I got your reply on this because I forgot to comment on that drawing. Again.

Exactly! I'm not a person that looses interest in a work even after having seen many WIPs, but I've noticed lots of people tend to give less feedback if they saw too many & too much revealing WIPs. I always post one or two, just to stoke's people interest 
I don't like it either. So, did you unwatch him?
Hey, no problem, really

This looks great, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Benedict 
I don't much like the sound of trawling through that book though .. your very brave!

I'll look forward to seeing more 
How you can do it reading in English also is pretty amazing, it's my language and I wouldn't attempt it

Yeah, he both has more unique looking eyes(that whole area) and mouth (upper lip). He's a great drawing subject, but very few do him really well.
Well, no way I'm reading Dickens and some other, especially British classics, in English if I can avoid it (couldn't avoid this one), don't want to miss anything. YA books are the easiest to read (simple language and style), but not only them. Like I said, I read 2 of Follett's with +/- 1000 pages like it was nothing.

Thank you! (I hope for much better ones in the future)

Better is hard to conceive, you might get closer to a realistic depiction but that would not necessarily imply a greater artistic ability.

Better in every possible way, it's a subjective thing, what one considers better.

Hat's off to clear reasoning.
