Vincent Price Caricature


I've been working on this caricature of Vincent Price over the last week. I love Price's voice and demeanour. The regal king of horror who never took it too seriously. The final background is supposed to have some sort of cheesy 70's Asian restaurant vibe.

I found a great site that has a lot of his audio recordings which I listened to while doing the picture. (insert maniacal laugh here...)

Here is a work in progress image.


My initial sketch and colour guide, it started as a pretty straight portrait but soon changed into a caricature, much like Vincent Prices own career arc.

  1. Fabulous! Love, love, love it!! Vincent Price is an awesome choice for model. The Background really finishes the picture and helps push Vincent to the forefront. You should think seriously about having an exhibition with all these portraits.
