Of course you can draw realistic stuff! This is great! Love the blue of his eyes and the tie.

omg! this is so gorgeous! And teh hairrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! I want to marry that hair, if only he could look like this in season six. *sigh* Beautiful job, I also love the shading. So I am always curious about the media used in these wonderful artworks. How was this achieved if I may ask?

Hee! Thanks! And I'm glad you loved the hair that much ^^
Weird thing is, Cas' hair somehow looks different in every episode. My personal favorite was maybe when his hair stands in different directions :p

Actually I don't really have a fixed technique for my drawings, they were all done somewhat differently ^^; In this one though, I used a technique first introduced to me by mangacat, which is to do the initial drawing in grayscale, and then adding Layers on top of it for the colors. This technique is a big help for me. I don't really understand lighting and shading, so this technique allows me to be more focused on them in monochrome and I don't have to worry about the colors ( ... )

What was I thinking? I can't draw realistic stuff!
You were drunk when you wrote this, weren't you ?! XD
Of COURSE you can draw realistic stuff!! We recognize Cas' immediately! It's a great pic!

I love how your drawings are neat, the attention you bring to details like his hair and the shadows on his shirt and trench coat. I don't know why, I just love the pinkish highlight on the top of his nose, it's really cute ♥

Wow thanksss! It means so much coming from one of my favorite artists! :D

The pinkish highlight is something cheap I like to do with my drawings :p Somebody in y!Gallery once suggested the technique and I think it always works great! I'm glad you liked it ^^

LOL actually it was all I could think about when I was struggling with his facial features. This is my first truly realistic drawing and it was very frustrating >_
