I mostly used these little chunks of hard pastel. But I had to use a little bit of pastel pencil in the end too, just to define his shadowed eye, because the paper was getting a bit worn and fuzzy.

I started by roughing in the big juicy shadow shapes:

Then put in some of the light:

Then realised my rusty brown wasn't going to cut it, so I used a darker brown for definition:

Then I added more detail:

Then improved his jawline and added more hair:

Then realised there was something wrong with his shadowy eye and proceeded to make it worse:

Then refined it with the pencils:

Movie Poster Series 1/?: On the Head of a Pin

AS IF FROM A RABID DOG

sam's freaking out. he thinks dean's absolutely lost it and he's treating him so warily like he could attack at any moment

he smokes!!!!!!!!!!! this is SOOOOO important to me. he stops. so he can light a marlboro. he takes a heavy, trembling drag. HE TAKES A HEAVY, TREMBLING DRAG. i'm.

kripke really said, dean's a smoker. amen.

AND he's an alcoholic right off the bat. amen x2

dean offers to drive sam home from college and he's like. "let's smoke." beautiful. this is my dean

"definitely un-p.c." i can definitely see how this man banned umbrellas

kripke is going OFF, "you can take your anemic alternative pop and shove it up your ass" i need to read more kripke scripts after this i am having the time of my life

KRIPKE BANS SEATBELT IN HIS P.C. CAR. NO SEATBELTS. NO UMBRELLAS. JENSEN WENT FROM A MAN WHO BANNED STRAWS TOA MAN WHO BANNED SEATBELTS. anyway

sam refuses obviously. but like. go dean!

the fact that sam suspects that dean is going to "score some drugs" makes me so enamored of dean. this is probably something i should work on in therapy

sam being afraid of dean is like. dean i love u. i know i showed this picture earlier in the post but it's just sooooooo good.

i know that in this script supernatural things are real. i know that. but let's take a moment to live in a world where dean is off his rocker. it's nice, right?

so btw there's an aunt cheryl character. and i just love this. "i think he's sick". yes he is unbalanced yes he believes in ghosts and spooks and maybe. just maybe. he killed dad.

this is just delicious.

sam is afraid of dean. sam thinks dean killed john. sam thinks. dean killed. john. i literally need this. i need a fic where dean did kill john. i need that soooo badly and i will write it after i get some sleep. u guys i am going to write this

dean is unhinged!!!!!! (yes i know in the script he's not actually unhinged and he's right but that's so much less hot)

I DON'T KNOW

they're gonna get you the best help in the world........ you can't make me go, sam........... this dynamic. sam's fear versus dean being genuinely absolutely batshit bananas balls to the wall insane. also yes i know that there are problematic elements to what i'm saying. i am stigmatizing mental illness. but listen. i have such mental illness i think it's okay

i know this is the same as the pilot that aired but like. sometimes supernatural is good actually. you can never go home

like...

and for all i know YOU MURDERED THE MAN. amazing. show stopping. spectacular. chills.

i love this version of john. who's actually called jack i think

anyway and then sam learns that ghosts are real and we lose this really amazing jack harrison and dean harrison personality disorder situation (i can say this bc i have a personality disorder)

So…. Guess what I’m currently rewatching😬

Are there any supernatural fans among you? I’d be delighted :D

‘Dean’s World’ (aka a look at Dean’s terrifying nightmares he keeps reliving)

If you stopped masking, it’s time to start again, today. I’m not asking you to stay home, just to mask as well as possible, and do hand hygiene.

In multiple communities all over the USA and Canada, every pediatric hospital bed is full, mostly with babies and toddlers who have severe respiratory infections. It seems to be a combination of flu, RSV and COVID, sometimes more than one at a time in the same child.

We can sort out why this happened later. Right now, there’s an emergency that should be front page news, and isn’t, and the best way to stop it is to reduce the circulation of all respiratory viruses in our communities by masking everyone who can mask, before babies start dying because there isn’t enough care to go around.

Get your current flu shot and bivalent COVID booster if you haven’t already, but also please mask now.

COVID somehow convinced waaaaay too many adults that children are more resistant to disease than adults.

They are NOT.

While there are a handful of diseases that are easier for kids to endure without long-term consequences than adults, mostly, diseases that make adults feel tired and fevered and stuffy-headed can be deadly for kids.

And once the mask mandates faded (because, apparently, we’re all too tired of COVID to keep protecting our communities from it), everyone seems to have forgotten that for most illnesses, kids catch them first and feel them worst.

Googling for [children respiratory crisis] on the News tab gets a terrifying array of articles. “[Location] hospitals are swamped.”
