I am quite engaged by this shot from the fall 2010 ad campaign for Dior Homme (which is Dior's men's collection.)  It reminds me of a modern take on a 60's high school yearbook photo -- nostalgic with an edge.

It's a bit funny how I stumbled across this image since I initially was Google-searching for the women's Dior ad (staring Karlie Kloss) to link to on Twitter but this men's ad popped up first in the results.  I guess it was one of those happy accidents because his face stuck with me, lingering in my mind, tempting me to draw it.  So after a whirlwind day long drawing fest, I'm happy to say: here it is!
