Gothic Dracula Block Portrait
Bring the legendary Count Dracula to life with a stylized, geometric block portrait. Cut a 2×4 block and paint a sharp, V-shaped hairline at the top in pitch black, extending the black paint down the sides and back of the block to represent his sleek hair and high-collared cape. Paint the center of the face in a pale, ghostly white or a very light lavender hue to give him that undead complexion.
Use a fine-tip brush to paint thin, elegant red lips, two tiny white fangs dripping with a single droplet of crimson paint, and dramatic, arched black eyebrows. To finish the gothic look, paint a bright red collar stand just below his chin, or glue a small scrap of red felt to the back of the block to act as a physical, stand-up cape. This sophisticated monster block adds a touch of classic literary horror to any bookshelf or study.
