**** Van Dyke pencil portrait
Time Taken: 13 Days
"I've retired so many times now it's getting to be a habit."
It was Bye Bye Birdie (1960 Stage Play) that launched **** Van Dyke's career, he had other rolls but it was this show that won him a Tony Award in 1961 and gave him the movie roll in 1963. During this time he was already Rob Petrie on The **** Van Dyke Show, a show where he crafted most of the comedy routines himself. While starring in one of the greatest sitcoms of all time and having a crush on his TV wife, Mary Tyler Moore, Richard Wayne Van Dyke was also acting in Mary Poppins with an accent that he's quoted with "I appreciate this opportunity to apologize to the members of Bafta for inflicting on them the most atrocious cockney accent in the history of cinema." When he was awarded a lifetime membership of Bafta in 2017 Forget the Cockerney Accent though, It's still his favourite roll in film. At the time of writing this he's approaching 95 (13th December 1925) and he's still performing with "What's left of me anyway."
He has helped so many people into the industry, even finding a sitcom roll for Mary Tyler Moore in her own show (1970-1977) I'm also planning to draw a lot of the cast starting with Mary or Rose Marie.
When I see **** Van Dyke all I see is talent and if you have yet to watch The **** Van Dyke Show (1961-66) start NOW! I've been "Binge Watching" the show on Amazon Prime since I started the subscription in August and I'm nearing the end of Season 3 of 5.
I always intended to draw **** Van Dyke but it was one of those back burner portraits, I mean, where do you start with such a legacy? What production should I draw from, he's been a part of my life watching films and TV since I was born in the early 1970's and it was because of watching his sitcom that pushed me into drawing this portrait. I then went looking for photos and couldn't find one so I bought one from a photo dealer and ended up with an official Disney archive one with his autograph on the back. This image was used during the 1966 Disney film Lt. Robin Crusoe U.S.N.
The portrait was taxing but well worth it. Old photographs can give such rich detail that you can see everything in minute detail. Of course, drawing minute details such as this takes a lot of time and gives headaches frequently.
I am hoping to draw more of the **** Van Dyke show cast soon, it depends on how this works out and if I can find a connection with the great man but Mary Tyler Moore, Rose Marie, Richard Deacon and Carl Reiner are on the to draw list.
