Description
...EDIT...Added a lot more details to the shirt and changed a bit on his face
I did this before I gave the original away but never posted the updated version so there you go ^_^
.......................................
Sam: 'Dean, there's ten times as much lore about angels as there is about anything else we've ever hunted.'
Dean: 'You know what, there's a ton of lore on unicorns too. In fact, I hear that they ride on silver moonbeams, and that they shoot rainbows out of their ass!'
Sam: 'Wait, there's no such thing as unicorns?'
....
Dean: 'Bitch'
Sam: 'Jerk'

Fo
Hope you like it baby
Jared Padalecki played Dean in Gilmore Girls, and these days he plays Sam in Supernatural!
----------------------------
I thought I would have a lot of troubles drawing this image. The reference image was very pale and had a few contrasts. I didn't know what to do!
A few weeks ago I bought a dvd box of Supernatural with season 1 to 3. Now that was a nice reference for me. The more I watched, the easier it was to draw Jared Padalecki.
The hair was easy to draw, but it looks very different from the original photo. I think I'll keep working this way. A realism portrait doesn't have to be an exact copy and drawing like this is leaving my trademark.
The skin however was incredibly hard to draw. From a short distance it looked nice but from a large difference it looked bad so I had to refix it over and over and over again.
Background was fun to draw. I always keep wondering if I won't screw up when adding a background but I guess I didn't. At least I think so. ;D

Time spent: approx 20 to 25 hours

For the very first time I'm 100% pleased about the watermark, lol!
Stupid people, stop stealing my work! Watermarks are 'fugly'
Title from Metallica.

Shirt still seems a bit, mmmm... You coulda done better. Then again, oh well. It's better than last time. Doing details like shirt collars are too tedious anyway. The drawing is still well done with the face and hair (I definitely love the hair).

lol well it was the best thing I could do. The shirt part was very blurry on the reference image, so I actually had to make up the details myself...!
Thank you so much for your comment

Aw, that's OK, hun. Yeah, photos can be a pain if blurry (details on shirt collars are a pain in general). You don't mind linking me to the crappy photo? I wouldn't mind to see it.

It's OK. Nevermind. I found the reference (though, I don't think this is the one you used since you said the one you used was a crappy photo). [link]
Wow, the shirt is blurry in this photo.

Cataclysm-X In reply to Crystal-LJ [2009-01-11 16:09:08 +0000 UTC]
that's the same shot indeed, but the photo I used was filtered in Photoshop I think less more details and contrasts. The image you showed is so much better...
Sure is blurry!

Damn. I think your life would've been so much easier if you used the photo that I linked you to. Oh well. You still did a fantastic job using a shitty photo.
