In a Coat He Borrowed from James Dean

Description

POUTY LIPS!! I love that part the most!

Props to anyone that can guess where the title's from ;)

A commission. It's sad, though, how many of my classmates thought this was Elvis, or someone from 90210, or something like that, haha.

I did all of the hair during school between classes. I have absolutely no time at night now school's started, because I have a ridiculous amount of homework. So this and my other art had been neglected.

And, I learned never to draw during lunch. Why? His neck. I don't know what got on it, but those stains look reeeeeeeeeeaally bad.

EDIT: HOLY CRAP. I was surprised to see this got featured! Thank you so much!! I guess those little spots can't be too bad then, huh? XD

This really is some impressive stuff, heh.
Indeed, the little spots/stains on his neck are quite a shame... Maybe you can get rid of it digitally?

But you did great on the shading, and even though some of your classmates think he's a futuristic Elvis, I certainly recognise James Dean.

Awesome, hehe.

Thank you so much! :) I don't have any editing programs unfortunately, but if I ever get photoshop this'll be the first to get edited XD

I'm so glad you recognize him! It's sad how all these kids can't recognize a film legend :(

Heh, I think Don McLean helped me.
In American pie he sings "In a coat he borrowed from James Dean" and that made me wonder who the hell James Dean was.
That's how I got to see his movies, hehe.

hehe, did you just change the title? xD

That was actually really coincidental! I titled it 'Coat Borrowed From James Dean' on dA and sheezyart, but was too lazy to on this site. But then I changed it right before your comment XD

I like the stains on his neck!

It actually makes him look more like a human with some dark freckles! xD NICE WORK!
