In this exciting Halloween art lesson, we’re going to learn how to draw the Bride of Frankenstein! Get your markers and paper ready, and let’s have some fun!
Let’s start with her face. Draw a small U-shape in the middle of your paper for her nose. Make sure it’s a little lower so we have room for her big hair.
Next, draw her eyes. Make two big circles, one on each side of the nose. Inside each circle, draw a smaller circle for the iris and a big oval at the top left for a shiny highlight. If this is tricky, you can make it simpler.
Now, draw an upside-down U shape over each eye. These are her eyelids. Add some eyelashes by drawing small V shapes and color them in to make them bold.
Time to draw her mouth! Make a jellybean shape to show she’s scared or sad. You can add teeth and a tongue inside for more detail.
For her hair, draw wavy lines coming down from the sides of her eyes. Make a thicker wavy line on each side to frame her face.
On top of her head, draw a bumpy line with different-sized bumps. Connect the top of the hair with more bumps for a cool texture.
Add a lightning bolt shape for the white or gray streak in her hair. Draw a zigzag line like a lightning bolt.
Let’s add some details to her neck. Draw a curve for her chin and neck. Add stitches on her neck by drawing short lines across it. Don’t forget the bolts! Draw two lines on each side of her neck, connect them with a horizontal line, and add shorter lines for the ends of the bolts.
Finish the drawing by adding her ears. Draw a sideways U shape on each side of her head. Add small curves inside for the ear details.
Now it’s time to color! Pick your favorite colors or follow along with the video. You can add your own touches, like stitches on her cheek or rosy cheeks.
Great job! You’ve drawn and colored the Bride of Frankenstein. This fun Halloween art project lets you be creative. Share your artwork and maybe add more fun details. Happy Halloween!
Frankenstein’s Friends: Think about other Halloween characters you know, like ghosts, witches, or vampires. Draw one of these characters using the same steps we used for the Bride of Frankenstein. Start with the face, add details like hair and clothes, and finish with coloring. Share your drawing with a friend and explain how you created it!
Texture Hunt: The Bride of Frankenstein’s hair has a cool texture with wavy and bumpy lines. Go on a texture hunt around your home or classroom. Find objects with different textures, like a bumpy rock or a smooth table. Draw a picture of the Bride of Frankenstein again, but this time, use the textures you found to create her hair and clothes. How does it change the way she looks?
Story Time: Imagine a story about the Bride of Frankenstein. What adventures does she go on? Does she meet other Halloween characters? Write a short story or tell it to a friend or family member. Draw a picture of a scene from your story. This will help you think creatively and use your drawing skills to bring your story to life!
