omg, benedict cumberbatch, why--

--why, WHY are you so hard to draw???




Is it:
A) your nose
B) your mouth
C) your eyes
D) your curls
or E) all of the above, plus you are simply unfathomable and also I get so distracted looking at you that I can't draw you?

Hmmmmmmm. Ah the questions, they answer themselves.

Looks like I need a lot of practice before I can get that look right. Thank goodness for Tumblr.

So much E, yes. He just cannot be possible. @_@

I forgot to add: the chin. Some Brit fangirl (they refer to themselves as 'Cumberbitches') described it as like 'Sid the Sloth--only HOT'. How the hell am I supposed to convey that with my piddling drawing skills???

Well, I'm impressed. He does have quite a collection of unusual features and a longer-than-average face to boot, but I can very much recognise who you're drawing there - you're definitely well on the way.

Thank you! That's very encouraging. Will bang out some more this weekend and see how it goes.

For what it's worth, I think that's a pretty durned good attempt. He just looks a bit too young here (unless that's what you were after). I'm glad you're going more with this style as opposed to a less realistic one. ;)

I think you just need to improve the lips? honestly though, even if you hadn't said who he was, he's pretty recognizable, which is a good thing! :)

Thanks! Yeah, there are lots of very good fanartists out there with a cuter or more cartoony style, and I've done a dorky strip or two but I'm really enjoying the struggle with his ridiculous face. ♥

The lips are so off, aren't they? XD I keep thinking the line's going one way in the photo ref when really it's going the other. I'm going to work on more of the same this weekend and see if I can get closer to what I had in mind.
