I'm not really sure how this drawing came about. I watched a video on shadows and edges in figure drawing - simplifying shadows and letting some edges stand out and others fade away. And then I drew this. And I haven’t actually simplified the shadows as much as I could have in this picture - I was aiming for something more vague and interpretative, so I might even have another go.

But I like it a lot anyway, and once I'd gone through lots of 'uff, that's rubbish' stages and it was starting to come together, it felt like I really understood the shapes and 3-D-ness and it was as if I was stroking over the contours of his face - and who wouldn’t want to be stroking Castiel’s face?

Here's a close-up:

And here's the drawing with my materials - a 4B Wolff's carbon pencil (they're lovely, but look - I've worn it right down. I like a nice long, knife-sharpened point so I can mainly use the side) and a blending stick (you can draw with them if you dip them in willow charcoal dust) and my squishy rubber. I used my fingers to smudge too. Typically, it's on cheap, thin newsprint paper, so it's very fragile. But I could put it on Redbubble. Maybe I should do an equally romantic Dean and then they'd make a nice Destiel mug?

Maybe this is the wrong platform to pose this question given the average tumblr user but

Is it just me or did our generation (those of is who are currently 20-30 ish) just not get the opportunity to be young in the 'standard' sense?

Like, everyone I talk to who's over 40 has all their wild stories about their teens and 20s, being young and dumb, and then I talk to my friends and coworkers and classmates, and we just... dont.
