Adam Driver XXXIII (NYT 1 Jan 2020)

I was reminded, again, that hands are hard. Now, the hand was a large part of my decision to paint this reference, as well as that wary look on his face, so it's not like I can complain. Large (someone did an impressive amount of sleuthing and by their calculations Adam's hands measure 8.5 inches from wrist to the end of his middle finger, apparently), with a square palm and strong, wide fingers, they're amazingly dextrous. I'm always delighted by the delicate wiggles he throws into the hand movements of a character or when he's trying to express a complicated thought in an interview. Audio only interviews feel like they're missing part of the conversation since we can't see what he's saying with his hands.

About 5.5 hours for this one, which is significantly faster than the previous one and I have no idea why.
