Drawing blather (with bonus drawing)

[amberdreams]

I think I am starting to get to grips with drawing Jensen/Dean.  I had another go today for my spn_gen big bang art for poetartist, and I think it almost worked.  I reckon I've made his nose and face too fine and narrow but otherwise it isn't too bad.  The trouble is, he's kind of so pretty, it's hard to get the combination of features right without missing something that makes him recognisable as Jensen and not just a bland pretty face.

I can't post that pic yet of course but I wanted to get this off my chest, having done two drawings of the man in the last few days.

Oh I can share the other one I did though - it's for my friend Ana's birthday, so I hope she likes it.  It wasn't that successful but there you go, it's done now.  I better not look at it anymore because all I can see is everything that is awry and that's just depressing!  And that is after I sepia-fied it in GIMP to try and make it look a bit sexier.  Ana is getting a print and the original drawing, lucky girl ha ha ha!

Ah thank you, but it's bugging me now and I'm worrying she won't like it! Oh bum.

I think it's beautiful. Love the way Jared's looking at Jensen.

Thank you! I should have said this is from 2 separate wolfpup2000 pics from Vancon this year. Though that look Jared's giving is indeed all for Jensen... *grin*

Gettin' better all the time! :D

Aw thanks, that means a lot coming from you. And it's not as though practicing on these two is a great hardship, eh?

I'm not entirely sure what you're worried about in regards to Jensen's features, but I just have to say you've done both their hair excellently.

Jensen's hair is a bitch too!! LOL

It's just that - well I don't think it actually looks like him, whereas Jared overall (to me) looks like Jared even though I can see flaws. IDK. Jensen is just HARD!

Is it because it's a full profile?

It's very hard to get a sense of his personality from only half a face, and personality is a big part of appearance. Also, I know actors try not to do the profile thing as it 'flattens' them, (lighting etc, is more interesting in a 3/4 profile) so we've rarely seen Jensen like this.

Mmm I don't know, but I shall just have to carry on practicing, hey? What a hardship....
