Little Frankenstein’s Monster
Looks like a manageable trend is follow main prompt every second day and quick doodles on the days between! Today is a little Frankenstein’s monster. In the novel, he really was just misunderstood, then cinema portrayed him as something evil; such a travesty!
(Also cracked out something other than just black and white for the first time in quite a while. Introducing gray; a revolutionary new addition!)
Yay! ‘Frankenstein’ is my favourite novel. I love the large, limpid eyes in your drawing. They seem to suggest the soulfulness of the Creature.

I’m so glad when I find people who have actually read the novel, or at the very least understand that the Frankenstein is the scientist!

It is funny because I have infected my kids with that particular neuroses – any time they hear someone refer to the monster as Frankenstein they grit their teeth and seethe. I was formerly a High School English teacher and Frankenstein was one of my favourite texts to teach. It is so rich. Until we emigrated and I had to severely cull my book collection, I actually owned five copies of the novel.

Haha, what a small world then; my senior English class also studied the text for one of out topics, and that’s when I first read the novel!

right? the book reads like an examination of what happens when one’s creator abandons his offspring. and the movies make him into a monster. (one of my favorite novels) i like the use of gray.

Thanks for that! It’s such a shame the movies are so inaccurate because the actual original plot line is fantastic. There is actually a reasonably true-to-source movie by Kenneth Branagh, and while it hasn’t dated exceptionally well, it’s 100x better than all of the other Frankensteins out there!
