Description
Yeah, so I was browsing folders again to gather stuff for my portfolio (still haven't found I was looking for though), and I found these little scans again. I've always wanted to make a short animation of the steps of either one (or more) of my tutorials, but never knew how to do that (until recently, obviously)!In short:
Step 1: take a sheet of paper and a few graphite pencils
Step 2: Draw the outlines
Step 3: Add basic shading
Step 4: Add dark tones as contrasts
Step 5: Blend the shaded parts
Step 6: Re-add details for more awesomeness
Step 7: Add skintones
Step 8: Be proud of your own work
Tutorial with better explanation can be found here:
Finished Jensen can be found here by the way:
I'm marvelous
I'm really tired so that's it for now.
Take care
have a great weekend!!!

You ARE Marvelous!!! 
This is very helpful... one of my worst "bad habits" is making the line of the lips too smooth, and not enough flesh creases.

I want to do something exactly like this with my drawing (and the wip pictures I took).
Can you tell me how you did this?
Did you record the animation as a .gif and then uploaded it on dA, and it detected the animation automatically?
Thanks!

How terrible is it that I knew that these lips belong to J.Ackles before I even clicked the thumbnail? Either I spend too much time staring at his lips or you're just too fantastic of an artist. One or the other.

Thanks for the help!

It's amazing how many people ignore step number 8. I must say I don't like commenting on the artwork of those people who are never proud of what they've done and always apologise for something.

they can be tricky to draw sometimes, but with some practice you'll get there

I think so too, but at the same time it's also the best
