Windblown curls, an entire galaxy of freckles and moles (I want to give the makeup artist an award for letting his beauty marks be), a piercing look in his hooded eyes, long nose, lush lips, crooked teeth, a day or two of stubble, a sweet peek of his ears, and that expression; it's the least flattering portrait I've seen of him published in an article, and I love it. We see so many flattering photos of him, his hair carefully arranged, face carefully made up, expression carefully guarded, thoughts hidden behind the mask he prepares for the world, and so few like this.
It's probably another mask, but this a less artfully arranged one, and it feels like maybe we're a layer or two closer to the unvarnished Adam.
The reference was a photo taken by Richard Burbridge for a New Yorker magazine article dated 28 Oct 2019.
11-ish hours of drawing time.
