Description

An illustrated bust of Benedict Cumberbatch's Sherlock Holmes from BBC's Sherlock.

This was a lot of fun to do... especially the hair! I tired some new techniques out; cross-hatch texture on the jacket, thick-lines throughout the hair for an almost stained glass look, and mixed media. I couldn't resist the pull of that red button hole!

Cumberbatch's features keep haunting me... but he's a tricky muse to nail down at times. We'll have to see if he makes into a proper portrait for the future! Stay tuned.

This was done with #2 pencil and Sharpie (black with a touch of red).
The background was applied with photoshop and is from: [link]

That looks great; I like the Damask background too.
