Jensen - pencil sketch in progress
I was dying to draw Jensen from that gorgeous new promo pic, so I started over the weekend on a digital version, but hated it. So I went back to basics and today I tried to do him in pencil (because you can't beat that softness you get from real graphite...)
I knew this wasn't quite right, though it was getting there after I made his nose shorter - I do have a tendency to make faces too long. So I've opened it in GIMP and tried an overlay, so now I can see exactly where it's off - and how much I had actually got right! Which is really encouraging! I am a very happy bunny right now.
So I need to taper his face more towards the chin, and widen his mouth a little. Looks like I refined his nose a little too much too thought the length is pretty spot on! Hurrah!
Oh Jensen, why so pretty?

I couldn't believe I'd got the eyes as well proportioned as I had done freehand

. . . so, erm, what hardness of lead are you using? ;)

For this sketch so far I've used an HB propeller pencil and a normal 2B pencil. I'll probably break out the 4 and 8Bs later.

Your Jensen really is beautiful. Carry on!
