Jensen - pencil sketch in progress

[amberdreams]

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?

Gorgeous subject and equally gorgeous work. The eyes and everything else are stunning and that you did that without graphing just pretty much makes me insanely jealous.

Also, I read the earlier comments - go 8B!

8B does scare me with its imprecision...!
