It’s the era of the Cumberbatch. What with Sherlock and Hamlet and his upcoming Dr Strange movie…Benedict Cumberbatch is kind of everywhere.

I thought this week I would add to that, with a look at that actor with the silliest of names… Bandersnatch Cummerbund.

No wait…

Sleeping Explorer is a marvellous portrait artist and this rare image of him in his specs is a treat! Wonderfully delicate shading and attention to detail make this a great piece.

Artist Botany Cameos has done a completely adorable Rosencrantz piece. His expression is perfect. And did I mention adorable?

Artist lockholmes has given us a different look at the man himself, with this rather sweet umbrella piece! He looks as though he’s taking a moment at a red carpet event and I love the colouring.

Artist dyinglikeicarus has created this stunning portrait of the actor. It reminds me of a Da Vinci sketch. Wonderful.

My piece this week features Cumberbatch and his face, created with my Prismacolor pencils. Snazzy.

You may have noticed a distinct lack of Sherlock… never fear, Sherlockians..that’s all to come. Stay tuned.

Don’t forget to say hi to the artists and check out their other works!
