Robert Vaughn

I take it back.  It’s Robert Vaughn, not Steve McQueen that’s hardest to draw.  I did a lot of drawing and rubbing out before ending with this where I think I have the proportions right but no likeness.

I went for an interesting colour scheme on this, using much more black than normal and ending up with an almost monotone drawing.  The colour scheme does seem to have given him a bit of personality, although it’s not clear what that personality is.  Ruthlessness?  The PTSD that he exhibits in the film?  Who knows?  Whatever it is, the clothes probably go some way towards projecting that personality, just as they do in the film.

The camera on my iPad keeps giving this picture a bluish tint wherever I snap it, which is odd.  In reality it’s grey rather than blue.

Anyway, not a great portrait but an interesting one.  When the seven are collected together as a set, this one will bring something different to the table.
