This is him in “Mr Bean” mode. What’s interesting though is that if you wanted to draw Rowan Atkinson as Edmund Blackadder, the face I have here wouldn’t work. That is, I couldn’t just stick a beard and an outfit on this pic and make it a Blackadder caricature. Even though it’s the same person.

For Blackadder you’d have to try to get his sly cunning into the drawing somehow. I don’t know if that’s a testament to the man’s character portrayal skills or what. He can give a radically different “vibe” depending on who he’s playing, using his physicality and expressions. Unlike so many of the talentless muppets appearing in every second Hollywood blockbuster, basically playing themselves over and over.

Although on the other hand, you could argue that Rowan Atkinson only ever plays one of two characters; a wibbly-faced weed or an evil scheming bastard. Whatever, I like his work.
