How to Draw Frankenstein

A drawing of Frankenstein, made with the help of an easy step by step tutorial.

You can never have too many how to draw Frankenstein tutorials, as there are just too many ways to play around with his iconic Halloween face and body. Make him cute and cartoony, or artsy fartsy, or extra simple for the kinders. His recognizable face is a great draw this time of year, when Halloween is pretty much all that young minds can think about.

This new tutorial focuses on just Frankenstein’s face, with giant eyes that students can anime up if they wish. No matter what, his lowered brow made of one continuous line is the start of a very expressive look. It’s a great example of just how much can be said with the eyes.

It will take you to my one minute YouTube video that was made to show how easy this drawing is to do, when you take it one step at a time.

Sometimes you just need to see how a drawing happens, to take the mystery out of the process.

Frankenstein Meets Picasso

Have your Halloween drawing project do double duty by adding a little lesson in cubism to the mix. The result might be an extra creative-looking portrait of Frankenstein (or Frankenstein’s monster, if you like to be precise). As a quick refresher, Cubism was an art movement that began in the early 1900s by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque. It aimed to show all of the possible viewpoints of a person or an object all at once. Given that Frankenstein was also pieced together, making a cubist version of his face with a profile and front view, just kind of makes sense. It’s a fun Halloween drawing project that gives a nod to the season, and to art history.

This student used Sharpie Brush markers on finger paint paper to get his very colorful result. If you’re not familiar with these markers, they have all the really rich color of Sharpies, but with a brush tip. They let students color with much more solid results than the regular hard tips. *Note, the image has an affiliate link.
