_______________________________________________
"The eyes are the mirror of the soul and its affections. One finds this principally in tumultuous and vile men who conceal their badness for a long time, but when they are distracted and unaware, it suddenly appears in their face and eyes. Therefore, the face and the eyes indicate the joy or sadness of the soul, its love or hatred; so also, honesty or treachery and hypocrisy."
(Commentaria in Scripturam Sacram, Paris 1878, vol. 9, p. 541)
I fell in love with this quote and had to draw a picture that reflects it somehow.
So I watched Supernatural that evening and I realized that it suits Dean Winchester perfectly who is struggeling with his demon self.
So I searched for a reference and found a nice one: I changed the eye to be an bit larger than normal and more expressive to reflect his conflict with the evil and his soul. Therefor the eye should be the center of my drawing.
I hope you like it that way

This is very good, very intense, the impression in his eyes really speaks. I love the light you see in his hair too,
Really well done!

Beautiful
and i love the eye, many people get very rapped up in exact realism which is awesome if thats your thing. But i like when people work in realism but also add a hint of something else. I occassionally get a comment from one of the diehard realists on DA about my 'overuse' of bold outlines, how its not true realism and if i wanted to make my drawings more realistic and 'better' i should do away with them. But i love my outlines, im not a 'pure' realist artist and they reflect my own personal style in drawing. They make my drawings a little different, which is a good thing.
Anyway, very well done

Beautiful work! Why has no one mentioned his mouth? There's something about Jensen that has always proved really difficult to draw, and I think part of it is in his mouth - it curves in in an odd way at the corners that some artists just don't see or do. You've done it, and it really does make it look like him. Very well done!

Thanks so much
The mouth was really hard to draw indeed, I had to fix it several times xD
I'm glad you like it

Well done! I actually really like the eye. Just my humble opinion, but putting your own spin on it is just as impoertant as making it look real. Keep up the great work!!

Beautiful drawing, you can clearly see why this drawing took you so long to draw. I really like how the image goes from the darkness into the light, I feel this really has worked well. As far as critiques go , my one and only suggestion would be that you make the eye a tad smaller. The shading inside the eye is really nice though, so maybe you could just add a small amount more definition on the right side of his lower lashes as silly as that might sound, it could work. Hope that helped.

oh jensen. This is really lovely, I feel like the eye is just a smidge off in size. Its a little too big. otherwise this picture is amazing.

I told ya it'd look way better with hair! It really does 
The only thing that kinda looks off, i think, is the eyebrow -It's either too low, or too dark
