"Beware; for I am fearless, and therefore powerful."
- Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

Mary Shelley's Frankenstein, published in 1818, was among the first works of the science fiction genre.

The story tells of an archetypal mad scientist who builds a living creature from hands, feet, and other parts stolen from corpses.

The title character, is not, in fact, the monster, but the scientist who brings him to life.

Made, remade, and borrowed from many times over, the 1931 movie adaptation of Frankenstein, acted by Boris Karloff, gave the character his stereotypical image.

That is the version we'll draw in this easy Frankenstein drawing tutorial.

Did you know? The name "Frankenstein" means "stone of the Franks" (a people in Germany).

Several towns and castles in Germany are named Frankenstein. The author visited Frankenstein Castle several years before the book was written.

The castle had famously been the abode of Conrad Dippel, a notorious physician and alchemist who had performed experiments on human bodies.
