It's time to start a new portrait collection. I was feeling a bit short of ideas and a bit out of form so thought I'd do portraits of the four...

The Bond Villains Collection
And here's the full set in all its glory. Rosa Klebb missed out to Hugo Drax in the final cut, as already revealed. And the second Blofeld keeps...
Hugo Drax
And here he is, a late substitute joins the team. As Rosa Klebb limps off in disgrace, on comes Hugo Drax, played by Michael Lonsdale in...
Rosa Klebb
I'm up early to finish off the Bond villains collection. So here's Rosa Klebb, played by Lotte Lenya in From Russia With Love. I'm a bit shocked...
Emilio Largo
Next up in the Bond villain collection is Emelio Largo, aka Number Two (I believe). He was played by Adolfo Celi in Thunderball. I picked a...
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...
Oddjob
Ah, Oddjob. Played by Harold Sakata in Goldfinger, he was always going to be in this collection once I'd moved on to henchmen. Once again, I...
Zbigniew Krycsiwiki
First up today is Zbigniew Krycsikiki, aka Jaws. My definition of Bond villains has extended to include henchmen. Jaws was played by Richard Kiel...
Francisco Scaramanga And Nick Nack
And here's the second and last drawing for today. Scaramanga and Nick Nack, played by Christopher Lee and Hervé Villechaize respectively in The...
Doctor Julius No
Now that I've convinced myself these are my takes on Bond villains and not just portraits of the actors that played them, I feel liberated and am...
Ernst Stavro Blofeld
These marker portraits always come in pairs, so here's another Bond villain - Donald Pleasence as Blofeld in You Only Live Twice. Except that my...
Auric Goldfinger
I might have only awarded that Emily Ball book one palette but it has got me mood to do some portraits and, in particular to try to get the gaze...
Gregg Allman
There was no way I was going to stop at Cher, so I moved on to Gregg. I wanted something that would contrast Cher's chiaroscuro against a coloured...
Cher
Before I head back to watercolours tomorrow, I thought I really should give the marker pens a quick go. So I googled for black and white celebrity...
Ben Talks Football
Portraits with markers always come in pairs. After that Tommy Cooper effort, I wasn't feeling confident enough to draw someone famous, so I headed...
Tommy Cooper
I've not had the markers out for a while and it's raining outside, so I'm having a go at a couple of portraits today. I'm not convinced by my last...
Elizabeth Olsen
I'm back onto putting my Avengers team together. Next up is Elizabeth Olsen as the Scarlet Witch. The Avengers aren't the Avengers without a...
Tom Holland
Before I talk about this one, a big hello to anyone that's here for the first time after seeing my brief appearance on Landscape Artist Of The...
Robert Downey Junior
My second and final portrait of the day. It's another in the Avengers collection and it's Robert Downey Junior who played Iron Man. As Iron Man,...
Mark Ruffalo
After Chadwick Boseman came out so well just after after Christmas, I thought I'd build a team and use him as the first in a series of MCU Avengers...
