None. Shakespeare did not "model his characters" on individuals. Since he borrowed most of his plots, the characters came with them. Shakespeare broadened the characters in the stories he found but rarely invented any. Many of his characters are stock characters or similar to them. (Maria in Twelfth Night, for example, is a soubrette)

Falstaff if perhaps an exception. He appears to be entirely Shakespeare's character, and in making him Shakespeare drew no doubt on many real knights of his acquaintance.

If Shakespeare had even heard of an artist who wandered from job to job around France and Italy a century earlier, his plays show no sign of such a character.
