I was trying to do a bit more than coloring and manipulation - I'm glad you like them!

I kind of like doing these paintovers. You can actually learn a lot about shading and light ^^

I love the boyish quality you seem to have accentuated in the bottom one.

Oh, thank you so much hun! Yeah, I made him a bit young, didn't I? ^^; But he can be so hard to draw sometimes, with his smooth features and curly hair!

Here, I've uploaded original photos so you can compare them:

It's his weak jaw that always thwarts my drawing attempts of his visage!

And in seeing the originals, I can more fully appreciate the lighting/shading treatment you did for both.

[nightowl81]

Right?! Exactly!
I do love his face though ;D

Wait a sec... HAVE YOU EVER POSTED ANY BENEDICT/SHERLOCK??! Did I miss it? ;_;
