Here are some drawings I did just for fun
As an artist, I’m still an amateur. I will probably do better drawings than these in the future but I still think both of them were worth showing to the Sherlock/ Cumberbatch fan community. Both of these are my recent attempts at drawing Cumberbatch. Just like Rathbone and Brett, he has long face but it happens to be a slender long face, which can be tricky to do at times. Anyway I hope you like these and any positive feedback is certainly encouraging.

These are better than any attempts I have ever made at realistic drawing!
Your shading looks very good.
Did you do these in charcoal?

Pencil is such a lovely medium.

Ah, okay. I wasn't sure whether it was charcoal or pencil because of your smudging technique. Cool.

You've really captured the shape of his mouth in that first picture - instantly recognisable!

Nice and a real tonic right now...
Just seen some Catlock etc stuff, which really does nothing for me.
