Description A drawing of James Dean I did on some brown thicker paper stuff for my Illustration class I am currently in. Thought I would share with you guys. It's been keeping me pretty busy honestly so I haven't really drawn much for myself lately...

So far it’s the best realistic picture I’ve done and I still don’t feel uber proud of it… I don’t really do them often though… It honestly looks better in person than scanned. Just believe me. (had a reference of course)


Enjoy~

Um. Wow. Yeah, those pictures are all stolen. That's just awful. Mostly because they're trying to pull that off as an official portfolio too. haha

Yes, I drew this. It was for an assignment for my illustration class. That person should be reported or something.

when I looked at this I couldn't help thinking, "James Franco kinda looks like James Dean." Then I did a google image search on James Franco and James Dean to verify if this was an accurate observation.

Bonka this is AMAZING!! I love the use of the brown paper for the mid-tone, the white (pencil? pastel? chalk?) highlight work especially around his cheeks and forehead. THIS IS GORGEOUS!!!!! Artists always strive to do better, but please be proud of this. It's really, really lovely.

He is beautiful D8

You drew him beautifully! I can tell you did a lot of construction work to get his face to match James Dean. It's a great likeness of him!

Did you find a specific picture and copy it from a photo, or did you have a bunch of photos you used as reference to make a unique portrait?

*Slaps bonka* Girl, this is fantastic! If you don't feel proud of it, then Leonardo cannot feel proud about the Mona Lisa or something.... THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.

You draw beautiful things and you should be proud. So... yeah....

Man, I'm pretty great at these pep talks- DON'T FORGET TO BE AWESOME!

Gee I'd like a Harley machine,
cruising around like if I was James Dean,
making all the guys in the corner turn green!

(So go git it!)

Ah, this reminded me of Little Shops of Horror.

That is REALLY good and why i love it is because its a really vulnerable picture of him. We're all so used to seeing 'broody and cool' James Dean.
Also, its just been drawn really, really well too
