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.

As always, it's wonderfully done! The hair looks really good and I think you should stick to that of drawing more like what you want and not so much as the exact thing you see. The skin also looks great, one can't tell that you had such a hard time drawing it.
Oh and by the way, the background is nice

Awesome finish! I love how you rendered Jared's eyes.
I so know what you mean about the reference picture. They really should stop overphotoshopping (is it a real word ? not sure. anyway)pictures that much cause they no longer look that natural and sometimes shadows are pretty much inexistant. end of ranting

The face looks great, very realistic, I love the little details on the skin
but I think you can still make his shirt better

So lovely! I love how you do soft backgrounds, really adds to the drawing. I should get off my lazy butt and start doing that too, you're such an inspiration to me

dubiousicicle [2008-12-11 20:33:22 +0000 UTC]
oh it looks beautiful!
and don`t worry about the skin, it looks really good!
you have a very nice way shading the skin, and I really like the outcome.
and don`t mind the hair either, his hair is different every season! lol
But it looks great! I`m really impressed!

Oustanding as always
I'd just say you should not ignore clothing detail so much, it's quite noticeable in this picture. But that's maybe because the rest is so perfect.

AokiBengal [2008-12-11 20:17:30 +0000 UTC]
His eyes are beautifully captivating!
The hair is really stunning, feels like I could run my fingers through it!
I love how you "cropped" the image slightly instead of having his face dead center it adds very nicely to good composition! Afraid I don't know too much about this actor but after looking him up you captured him beautifully!
