A Pencil Portrait; "Nerdy Cumberbatch"

I got myself a new Stædtler pencil and I've been ever since trying to work it out. Making this nerdy portrait of Benedict Cumberbatch from "The Imitation Game" had always been on my mind but fear of lack of interpretation kept me away from it. I however decided to try out my new technique with this portrait and voila, here you have today's sketch.

Most people know and love Cumberbatch for his appearance as Dr. Strange in the recent Marvel movies but that aside he has starred in lots of movies I possibly can't forget. One of my favourite till this moment is 'Star Trek: Into the Darkness.' and very recently I learnt he was the voice of Smaug in The Hobbit. I would really love to hear from you guys as per your thoughts on this portrait. Thanks in advance
