These marker portraits always come in pairs, so here's another Bond villain - Donald Pleasence…
Another Ernst Stavro Blofeld
Some new blue pearl markers arrived in the post last night. Without these, I wasn’t able to do any drawing yesterday as this colour so proving to be essential in the skin tones for this collection.
I’ve had another go at Blofeld. I wasn’t happy with the version I had, with the scar being in the wrong side of the face. This version isn’t that great to tell you the truth – you can see where I’ve overdosed a bit on black at the end in an attempt to rescue a drawing that wasn’t going anywhere. So the black’s one problem. The asymmetric top half of the head is another. And then there’s the green background which I chose to be different to the other drawings in the collection but which doesn’t seem to fit well with this portrait.
I might need to do a third Blofeld before pulling this collection together.
