I see no problem with just drawing Ben:D
I think it looks great will you send it to him?

Well Iim actually starting to get stick from family and work colleagues about it....

I'm glad you all like it! I probably won't send it, hopefully he will do a meet b greet at Sherlocked convention and I will take it then. I've sent him a print out of the microscope pic with the socks tho

I just want the picture that I get him to see and sigh to be the best it can be. I know how much he appreciates art (like Polar's) and I want him to be wowed, I want that reaction. I'm gonna take my David bowie pic as well as I know he likes Bowie. I may even give him it if he likes it that much.

Would you like to see my Bowie?

Here you go ;) it's the drawing im most proud of. I really want Ben to have it...

I love that!! I'm genuinely gob smacked by how accurate it is!!
And I'm sure Ben would love it too
God I'd love to be able to draw like that! You're quite right to be proud of it

Aww thanks lovely! It's from the IW festival so it's practically a unique photo too cause it was taken by one of my colleagues x

That would be an excellent story to tell him

If only I had the time and the opportunity....

The Bowie drawing is brilliant! I'm a Bowie fan too. Still find him sexy!

Thanks Spiral!

Must be something to do with dudes with multi-coloured eyes ;)

Clare I've already told you how fantastic that Bowie drawing it, but it can't be said enough!

You're an incredible talent!

it's finished!!!

**Posted by SpiralStaircase** March 30, 2014 9:01 pm

Fab work, Clare!! You should feel proud! And I bet Ben would be very impressed if he ever got to sign it!!

**Posted by clareiow** March 30, 2014 9:03 pm

Thanks Spiral I'm pleased with it. I think.

I'd like to think Ben would be impressed. And there's plenty of room for his signature!

WOW!

Clare, this is perfection to me; It looks exactly like him; so much more detail than any photograph could capture. You are fantastic!! And I mean that!

I can stare at this forever and find new tiny details. just WOW!

This is really, really good, clare. And I have a special fondness of Christopher Tietjens.

**Posted by clareiow** March 30, 2014 9:17 pm

Glad you all like. This is a photo of it, and I'll be getting it properly scanned in so when I do I will put it on, and then you can see some of the finer details (like the milllions of dots and dashes on his bag strap.... that was an effort!)

**Posted by rebeccaholmes** March 30, 2014 9:21 pm

Absolutely brilliant.

Well done.

I think I'm going to return to this thread a few times just to look at this drawing.

You're such a talent!
