Description I started this before the "Michael Sword" revelation,
so now it's even more relevant. Normally I think portraying a
character as an angel is totally clichΓ©d, but the Winchesters
have always had that religion/faith connection, as well as
protecting people, often without their knowledge or thanks.

Since I decided to make posters out of this one, I edited it
in photoshop to fill in the black expanses, just in case my
shading didn't quite cut it. This is the only time I've done
that! I normally retouch graphite drawings to fix whatever
the scanner's butchered, but I don't paint over my shading.
Just so you know.

graphite pencils + erasers/blendy dealies
A3 bristol board
references: Supernatural promo photo - Jensen Ackles as Dean Winchester + wings from Sunday Times Magazine cover.
details: face feathers

I'm totally amazed !!! The details and the textures (like the skin...wow) are amazing ,you nailed the contrast so perfectly on his face .
Maybe the left wing could have been darker, the wing would have seem more "in phase" with the face....but you would have surely lost that beautiful "heavenly" glow
So...yeah...that's an amazing drawing.

Dean was like my ubercrush before Cam Gigandet came. Although he still is, sort of. I mean, this is so realistic I was thinking of confessing my feelings for a while there 'coz he looks just about to fly out of my screen and take me for a ride teehee! Won't I faint when that happens.

I can watch this drawing such a long time and I don't get bored. I'm really impressed by the wings. It's one of the best drawings of Dean I've seen (among with all your other drawings you made from him, I mean I can't name one of your drawings were I think, it's not Dean)

This is... actually truly. breathtaking. It's one of the rare pictures I find where I really, really, really wish the person features on it would see it one day. I wonder how Jensen would feel. Appreciative? Annoyed? Maybe humbled by your skill? Anyway, it doesn't matter. We'll never know.

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Crimefish In reply to heidinanookie [2011-11-08 22:30:23 +0000 UTC]

I'd die from embarrassment if Jensen ever saw this, and especially if I knew about his reaction. If his reaction was negative, I'd never forgive myself, and if it was positive, I'd feel like it wasn't worthy of such a response from him.

(Although I did just get a postcard from Misha Collins, thanking me for a small drawing I sent him months ago. He seemed pretty happy. And while I always think something like that would make me hideously uncomfortable, it made me really happy, too.)

Anyway. Thank you. I wanted it to have an EPIC feel to it. In most of my drawings, the images are crammed in three to a page, so I wanted the image here to have plenty of empty space to just... be. And of course, since there's not much to it (comparatively speaking) I didn't feel rushed to complete any one aspect so I could move on to the next. I let myself spend a lot of time perfecting the details.

heidinanookie In reply to Crimefish [2011-11-09 14:52:38 +0000 UTC]

I'm sure Jensen would love this pic, don't worry.
And wow! How did you get a letter to reach Misha Collins? Don't celebrities keep their postal addresses a state secret? Anyway, do you have the drawing uploaded somewhere? I'd like to see it. Oh, and I'd probably get a heart attack if Misha wrote me a post card. If receiving one hadn't made you happy I would have had to doubt that you're human

Wow, I wish I had seen this sooner. Stunning piece. I know you've already heard this a ton, but the wings and neck are just off the hook. That had to take a lot of patience to get all those little details on the feathers. And his neck!! UGH! The rings from where the skin bends look so realistic. Anytime I attempt to draw that it always ends up being overly obvious, but you've got the shading down brilliantly. For me, though... I got to say that the shading around the eyebrows and that intense lighting around the jaw and outer edges of the face is just brilliant. Has to be my favorite part of the image.

I'm sorry if you already answered this, but there are a lot of comments to read through lol. Do you mind if I ask how you got that perfect black, no streak darkness behind him? I cannot figure out how the heck to get black that way.
