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 couple of Avengers portraits, so I'm going for someone different.  This is the late Tommy Cooper.

I picked out a shadowy photo well suited to chiascuro.  The likeness wasn’t there (maybe if I'd given him a fez, it would have been more obvious) so I threw in some impressionistic reds, pinks, oranges and yellows just for a bit of practice and experimentation.

He's not great.  It might only be the left eye that's letting him down though.  He's not going up for sale.
