As finishing touch I added my signature and proudly looked at my drawing.
I was scared at first, but it's good to push my boundries this way. So what I did was using 7 different colours for drawing the eyes.
hence the title 'Dream Brother' which also connects to his role in Supernatural where he appears as Dean Winchester, the brother of Sam Winchester played by Jared Padalecki.

Now, the composition of the piece more than makes up for the couple little flaws in technique. Because the face is center-aligned, the focal point of the image immediately becomes the eyes, and your venture into colored pencils was actually the brilliance stroke of the drawing. With the rest of the image rendered in grayscale, adding color to the center of the drawing enhances that focal point and draws the viewer into Jensen's eyes. It reinforces the notion of the title of Dream Brother with the viewer being pulled into his eyes as sort of a way of venturing into his soul and getting lost in a trance-like state. But they are subtly rendered, which allows the viewer to drift away from the dream in order to observe the rest of the piece. They are drawn with just enough brightness and color to draw one in, but not too much to distract from the rest of the image. One never would have guessed this was one of your first serious attempts at colored pencils. The luminous colors of yellow, green, and blue are such smoothly executed to create a wonderful contrast with the rough, rugged quality of his skin and facial hair. It provides great balance to the piece.
The lighting is rendered well and it aides in the same theme mentioned before. The single hard light coming from his right creates an added affect of him sort of emerging from the darkness of a void and into the vastness of an infinite light; both extremes symbolizing the limitlessness of space and dreams. It also mirrors the idea of contrast between the eyes and skin, establishing a subtle metaphor between dream and reality.
I too was reminded of Jeff Buckley when seeing this image. So that plus the reasons both you and I have said, "Dream Brother" really is a perfect title for such an image. Well done, and definitely one of your best works.
