Dean Winchester art for Herminekurotowa

[amberdreams]

A while ago the talented herminekurotowa made me a fabulous Supernatural dress, and refused to let me pay her for her mad seamstress skills. So I said I'd have to make her something instead.
I've been a long time getting this finished, but here's Dean Winchester in watercolour for her to play with.

Petal, I hope you like it!

There's not much to say about the process - it's a light pencil drawing in my Etchr watercolour sketchbook, I used 4 colours for the painting (keeping it simple) and added a few lines with a Unipin fineliner (0.05mm).

Here's an earlier stage, before I went over the first washes with indigo.

This is lovely. I really like the limited pallet too and cool headstones. Bravo!

Thank you! I'm still experimenting with stuff and the limited palette was one of them. Glad you like it!

WOW, this is stunning! I love the colors, and something about the angle of Dean's head and the expression on his face is incredibly striking. (I'm also a huge sucker for skulls and graves and the MoL symbol, so those are a great bonus. :P) Thanks for sharing this!

The reference pic of Dean is one of my faves - glad you approve!

I love how you've caught his expression, it's such a Dean face! And his pretty lips are perfectly plump! The colours are wonderful, too. I think Hermine will love it - and the dress she made you is brilliant!

Oh those lips, huh? *happy sigh*
Thank you!

i love his face and the tilt of his head, and the palette is really pretty, for all the skulls and tombstones.
