I thought it might be the Uncle Albert the Beatles sang about, "We're so sorry, Uncle Albert."

I like it alot. Nice economy of line. And I would have known who it was even if you didn't identify the subject.

I don't think you need the round shape in the background, though. It fights with the elegant simplicity of the drawing.

I think you're doin alright with it already! Great focus on the eye-brows, as he did have very thick and messy brows. Nice job

I think that your drawing looks very nice as everyone else has said. Since you are doing a caricature you might try exaggaerating some of his features more. Since that is the definition of caricature. Taken from Merriam Webster online.

I did some Albert cartoons for a client once. Maybe these will give you some ideas.

Thanks (as always) for the input, guys.

Bruce:
Nice Alberts. It gives me an idea as to the need to identify portions of the character to keep while changing expressions.

Gary:
I agree. I kinda wanted to frame the face, but now I think that was a bad idea.
