Inktober 2017 - Day 17 Graceful

[amberdreams]

Does it count if I had the idea yesterday?
Inktober Day 17 Graceful.

I thought about Anna and her grace, and took the opportunity to watch Season 4 Episode 10 again. Oh Season 4, how I love thee still.

I failed to capture that devasted look on Dean's face but hey ho. I tried to be bold and didn't sketch it out in pencil first.
Here's the first sketch before I started with the washes and the colours and the details.

I like the reds, and Anna is still one of my fave angels. Julie Niven is a stunning-looking woman.

Wow that red hair (and lips) really pops, and I love how you've blended the colours! Beautiful!

Thanks!

Damn, now I'm looking at it fresh, Anna's face is weird.

I think you've captured Dean's expression, with the way his eyes are almost closed and his brow furrowed. Season 4 remains my favourite, too! :)

Yeah, and that was a really good episode. I loved the angels when they were so badass.

Anna was such a great character, and Julie McNiven did an amazing job.

Lovely pic! I love her hair (and his face). :)

Thank you! I realise now I've got Anna's face all wrong, dammit. I might have another go at that reference pic sometime though, that was such a beautiful scene.

her hair is gorgeous! and i love the almost wistful look on dean's face. (also his eyelashes are amazing.)

Aw thanks - Jensen in that scene managed to convey so much emotion without a single word and hardly moving his face. He's a directors dream, I reckon. Just zoom in on that gorgeous mug and wham. The scene's in the bag.

Season 4 was really good!! It's possibly still my favorite season.

The reds look gorgeous and the look on Dean's face is spot-on. <3

[amberdreams.livejournal.com]

Cheers! Yes, I think Season 4 is still up there, holding it's place in my heart.

Oh my life, that is absolutely stunning, the colour of Anna's hair is just gorgeous, and wow, brave, not sketching it out first! Go you. I think you did capture a part of the devastated look, there's something in the set of Dean's lips that speaks of heartbreak.
