Adam Driver XXIII (BFI London FF 2019) {art}

This piece is essentially my version of a prayer circle for the release of the Annette trailer.

I love the peek we get of his ears with this haircut. And while I very much enjoy the look that a full set of functional muscle has on him, I can appreciate this more slender look too. Those beautiful cheekbones get to show themselves a bit, and his nose gets even more aquiline.
 
And I'll bet the buttons across his pecs and the suit coat are breathing a sigh of relief, lol.

The photo used for reference was taken by Gareth Cattermole with Getty Images on 6 Oct 2019 at the BFI London Film Festival.

This one took about 4.5 hours to draw, all told.

You are doing such amazing work with him as your muse! Every time I see one of your pieces of him I think it's a photo at first.

Thank you so much, Alby! I'm working from reference photos, which feels a bit like cheating even though I know it really isn't. There are so many amazing photos of this man, it's been a lot of fun.
