How to Draw Frankenstein
1
First start off by drawing a big egg shape, this will be his head.
2
Next after you have a guide to work with shape the egg shape to a monsterish square shape.
3
After you have that down, sketch out the lines for his eyes, nose, ears, and neck.
4
Simple so far right? Now draw a line right over his eyes. This gives the illusion of a big forehead. Put more shape to his eyes that should look misshapen and uneven. Lines in his ears, nostrils in the nose and the lining for the mouth.
5
Give the eyes some eye lashes, sketch out the bolts in his neck, frown lines around the mouth, and his hair line.
6
Now you can start with the scaring on his face. Frankenstein is a monster created by the hand of a man, and because of that his face will look beat up from all the poking and pulling. He is a sad looking creature.
7
Sketch the shading above his eyes and draw his jacket as well. Your almost done. If you want to erase the guide lines in the sketch to finish your work.
8
Color in the mouth add more detail to the head and add a little more hair pieces to the head.
9
That is it your done. Now all you have to do is color him in if you want to.

Description: Before I start off the tutorial I would like to say that I am very new to sketching people. The tutorial I’m putting up today is a very rough sketch on "how to draw Frankenstein", step by step. I will give you some interesting information on this creature first. Frankenstein is not the name of the monster as most people think; it is the name of the scientist who created the monster. This creature was created and never named; instead he was referred to as “Monster” it holds a symbolism of him being parentless and how he lacks the sense of self and identity. This fictional character appeared in Mary Shelly’s novel Frankenstein. The novel would over time become a play and over time again be adopted by screenwriters and movie producers to turn Frankenstein from a book, to play, and from play to movie. Frankenstein the creature over more time became a popular scary monster for kids, especially around Halloween. Here is an easy step by step tutorial on how to draw Frankenstein with a realistic quality to him. I used a picture I found online as a guide for the sketch and the instructions. The hardest part of this drawing was giving the illusion of a big square head that was tattered and scared. When looking at the finished sketch the parts that have the black scribble is actually the shading. I like the way he came out and I proud of my creation. He really is an easy character to draw. You can also learn how to draw a cartoon Frankenstein step by step too. Peace peeps!
