How to draw a monkey

Learn how to draw this cute monkey of your very own.

You will need:
- Pencil
- Pen
- Eraser
- Paper
- Colored pencils or crayons
- Ruler (suggested)


Jeff's Tips & Ideas : Use lightly sketched pencil lines first for the structure. After, use a pen to draw in the final lines. When you're finished, erase the underlying pencil lines to reveal your drawing. Then - color it!

Let's start! Follow step by step our easy indications below !

STEP 1

First, come up with a framework (if it helps!)... something to aid you in establishing structure before-hand.  You might even just visualize this mentally while you go about your drawing.

STEP 2

Sketch in the eyes and nose.  Change them.  Make them big - small - circular - ovular... give them eyelids, eyelashes... GET CREATIVE!!  :-)

STEP 3

Now bring the lightened area around the monkey's face into view.

STEP 4

Out to the ears now, forming the head - and then gradually... begin to sketch in the left arm.

STEP 5

The body...

STEP 6

Draw some legs and feet for your monkey.

STEP 7

Begin drawing a fist for the right hand... it'll soon be holding - of course!... a banana.  :-)

STEP 8

Sketch in the remaining areas.  The tail for example...

STEP 9

Minus the framework - here's what mine looks like...

And with a splash of color - it's just that much better.  Nice job!
