How to draw a funny monkey

Learn how to draw this funny 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

Begin by sketching out a simple framework for your cartoon monkey.  Notice how I've used simple shapes and lines to make it all happen - quite easily.  Do the same.

STEP 2

Draw your monkey's face... feel free to change yours up a bit.

STEP 3

Complete the areas in and around the face...

STEP 4

Draw the ears - BIG ONES - in this case!...

STEP 5

Sketch in the right (your left!) side of the monkey... only up to the part before the hand and feet...

STEP 6

Mirror it on over to the other side - doesn't have to be perfect by any means...

STEP 7

Now sketch in the remaining parts - hands, feet... and of course --- tail!

Color makes all the difference in the world.  And there we have it - another cartoon monkey - this one appearing to waiting for something to eat?... a banana perhaps?  Hope you enjoyed the lesson!  :-)
