Young Robert Mitchum in Jail!

In 1948, young Robert Mitchum served a sentence of 50 days in jail for possessing a marijuana cigarette. For shame, young Robert Mitchum! What would the innocent children of America think of your recklessly lawless shenanigans? Now stop all this foolishness and go about resuming your career as a respected Hollywood actor, young man.

Robert Mitchum

Mitchum!

He's a lot harder to capture than you might think. I feel like I did a better job with the right side of his face than the left.

I used his hand tattoos to make a reference to that old Cape Fear episode of the Simpsons, when Sideshow Bob had "Luv" and "Hat" tattooed on his three-fingered paw. Good stuff.

Robert Mitchum's rich inner life!

If you ever wanted to know what Mitchum was thinking about during Night of the Hunter...

Robert Mitchum - the man , the cleft

This was MUCH harder than I expected it to be!

I thought I'd just bash out a quickie caricature and be done with it, but nope! The man's mouth confounded me and the more research I did the more complicated it became. From the youthful cupids bow, to the sagging purse it became. Was there ever an Actor who aged quite so interestingly?

I left the pencil lines in , just because I like seeing people thinking on the page.
