Something completely different here, experimenting with a completely different method of painting

When I do a fanart portrait, I normally do a extensive measurement (using Grid method) to get the likeness and do a complete and detailed lineart first, then colour it in. It's bit tedious, but I am sure that I can get the exact likeness that way.

This one, I started painting straight away without the lineart, and eyeballed everything without grids or rulers... It's very difficult to get the exact likeness this way, but it's really good way to train my eyes.

I know that it doesnt exactly like Dean, but as a study piece that took about 40 minutes to complete (gave myself 30min, but went overtime by 10min..), not too bad.. and I learned a thing or two in the process I think.

I am planning on doing this kind of thing everyday if I can ( 30min study each day shouldn't be too hard in theory? hahaha fingers crossed) to improve..

Would you guys like me to post the studies? Would it be helpful for anyone?

Quick sketches are quite fun.. I couldn't resist doing another one today:
