Proof that I really can still paint in color, when I feel like it.
This last week has seen the release of a feast of behind the scenes glimpses of Adam working; after such a long famine it's been incredible to wake up to new photos on a near daily basis. Being as they're universally taken by paparazzi who are peeking at filming from a good distance away, they're almost all too low quality for me to do a "proper" portrait study. But he looks so good in all these suits, with his lightened hair and blue contacts, that it would be a shame to not draw any of them at all.
And so, the return of lineart and color; I'm a bit rusty after drawing pretty much only in monochrome for a year. Color is complicated.
This particular shot was taken on 11 Mar 2021 in Milan, during the infamous Momma Monster Feeds Her Big Boi Costar scene. He's not actually in character, I don't think, as much as Adam is ever not in character while in the middle of shooting a scene; the cameras weren't rolling, and apparently Adam was calling over his hair and makeup assistant to loan a small mirror to Lady Gaga so she could touch herself up between takes. But he WAS in costume, so I'm treating this like a character portrait, because honestly the odds are pretty good he was holding onto the characterization.

About 7 hours of drawing time.
