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
Work in Progress 1
Work in Progress 2
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.

I've been watching you on DA for sometime now, and I've just realized what I want to do. I've noticed over these past few months that "anime style" is literally to hard for me to grasp. Bodies and ligaments are just to hard to draw for me. I cannot grasp that. I have always been good at drawing faces ,either an anime character's face or a realistic person. I've just decided that I'm going to focus on what you do, portraits of people using nothing but pencils. My friend suggested me to do this long ago, but hence I ignored it. Now I've realized that I've been able to grasp this type of art (if you will) more quickly than anything else. (also I really do not want to take the time to learn all that required "stuff" for manga/anime drawing). I like the face cause each face looks different (excluding identical twins ) so yea...after this really really long comment (which I sorry for ;.
I'm going to do what you do (kind of) so....don't be surprised if I ask questions or like....stuff. Also thanks for posting those tutorials ^.^ they are quite simple and clean and helpful
so yea....
About this piece :ahem: SEXY!! GAWD he's sooo hot! I really love those eyes and how you did the hair! goodness. So yea...keep it up ^.^
First question
How can you tell A4 paper from regular paper? basically how do you differentiate different types of paper? And I'm guessing you can buy it in your local art stores yes??

Breathtaking.
Wonderful in every way possible.
to put it simply,
you're a genius.
I can't imagine the work and time you put into the hair. It blows my mind!
I'd love to see detail shots of the lips and eyes/eyebrows.
particularly the right (our right) eye.
would you ever consider that?

Kesarhy [2008-12-11 23:08:00 +0000 UTC]
Wow. It was worth waiting! Congrats! It looks perfect. Don't worry about the hair I agree that they look even better the way you did them. It looks so clean and... and well, it inset perfectly in the picture even if, as you said, it's not like the real one! I see nothing wrong with the background
I do hope to see more incredible art from you in the future!

I've loved supernatural for such a long time, and although not my favorite of the two brothers, i definitely adore Sam.
But Dean's the sardonic (sometimes sarcastic) ass, and everyone loves the sardonic ass!
I love this, you captured him well!

Well, that explains the smelly rainbow that seemingly struck me out of nowhere two days ago Anyway, very good job on this, you make a character I'm not familiar with seem like I've known him for ages...Too bad he reminds me so much of one of the guys who picked on me in school
sigh, all pretty-boy surfie types are the same
But I bet this one is cool

Thank you so much. Bad thing is that he reminds you of someone you don't like.
I think Jared Padalecki really is a friendly guy

*tries to hold back fangirl-ish squeal* SUPPPERRRNATTUURAALLL <333 I'm more of a jensen fan myself, but i do love this. I wish jared would cut his hair again though. In the newer episodes its too long. I think he looks best when its the length that you drew it (Like in the first season).

Thanks for showing us that great things can still be done without Photoshop!!! <3
