Consulting Detective

I've been feeling super rusty lately, as due to several things over the past 2 months I've not really been able to draw. So to try and get myself back into the swing of things I decided to do another portrait. I wanted someone with more interesting and odd facial features, and you don't get more interesting and odd than Benedict Cumberbatch. I recently watched Sherlock, and loved it, so I thought it would be fun to give him a go

Not much else to say really, other than I tried to keep this one a bit looser than previous fan art portraits.
