I was digging through my reference folders, trying to decide on the next few pieces, when I stumbled over this one. The energy in it pulled me in; I love the wildness of his hair flying about his head and across his face, the utter abandon of the movement and of the unbuttoned shirt.
Adam's expression is pretty carefully neutral, but I have a hard time believing he's not having at least a little fun. We're missing the usual indicators of eye crinkles or dimples, but there's something about the set of his sinfully full lips, the way his eyebrow is lifted, even the way his eyelid is laying that hints at a hidden smile.

This is the third portrait in this series that I've drawn from this particular photoshoot. In addition to being aesthetically gorgeous it also highlights the impressive skills of the photographers; there's a bit of focal distance blur, but no motion blur at all, even though you know Adam had to have been moving fairly fast to get his hair to fly out like that.
9 hours of work, I'm getting better at pintucks.
