The title isn't anything important or significant or anything. It's just what I think of when I think of James Dean

Props to whoever can guess where that's from!
It's sad how many people didn't know who James Dean was. It's even more sad that a lot of them thought it was Elvis, some guy from 90210, or the best friend from Spiderman :noes:
Anyway, this was a commission. I'm sure the first thing you'll notice about this are the dots on the neck...Well, that just goes to show how stupid I am when it comes to keeping my work clean. I've had a ridiculous amount of schoolwork so far this year, so I have almost no time after school to when I go to sleep to do anything but homework. So a lot of this had been done at school (
All of the hair was done between classes)
So, I'm guessing the little black dots appeared sometime at lunch. I didn't even notice them until I blended the graphite in that area. The graphite must have gotten stuck on those spots, and couldn't come off. Well, they look terrible so I deducted the price to $60.
I used mostly 2B-8H, but of course some 8B and 6B for the darker tones. On my trusted mat board, like always (At least that never changes).

I think alot of people today wouldn't know about James Dean either because of the obvious generational gap. But the shading on this is amazing it really brings his face to life.
