Sherlockian Bust by Sterin on DeviantArt (original) (raw)

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.
