​Clowns are easily recognizable the world over, adorned with painted faces, big red noses, fanciful hair, and colorful costumes.

Clowns have a long history in various world cultures. The idea of the clown as a comical figure can be traced to court jesters in ancient Egypt and other regions.

Later, William Shakespeare included clowns in his plays - rustic individuals who lacked good sense.

​In the early 1800s, the appearance of the modern clown became popular in British theater, and later migrated to the American circus and rodeo.

The clowning tradition was taken up by comedic performers such as Red Skelton and later became the mascot for McDonald's restaurants.

While originally designed to entertain with a laugh, clowns today often elicit the opposite reaction - repulsion fear. Did you know that psychologists recognize the fear of clowns as a phobia, called coulrophobia?

​What causes such fear? Researchers assume that the painted face of the clown may produce unease due to the "uncanny valley" effect, in which something is lifelike yet not realistic, and therefore frightening. Childhood encounters may produce lifelong effects.

The entertainment media has monopolized on this reaction, staffing comedy, action, and horror films with such characters.

​​For example, in the 1940s, DC Comics introduced the Joker, Batman's nemesis. He is a clown-like villain who loves dangerous practical jokes, and remains a key player in the DC franchise.

In the 1980s, Stephen King's It became the first horror film to feature a sociopathic clown, and the Simpsons cartoon introduced Krusty the Clown, a generally harmless but at times scary and dark figure.

A number of children's cartoons, including Disney's Pepper Ann, have addressed this theme.

​Would you like to use your mad art skills to draw a scary clown? This easy, step-by-step drawing tutorial is here to help.
