How to draw a monkey

82 Comments

Second, black in the major lines. Trace each one using a spline or bezier curves and then stroke a line using the current brush and color.


Step 3, using a flood fill tool to color in his head, ears, and mouth.


Step 4, finally add some highlights and shadows to give him a 3-D effect.

Wow, that monkey is the ugliest monkey i've ever seen! I can draw a waaay better one than that. I can probably draw a better one with my eyes closed and using my left hand (i'm right-handed)

Your Munki is CUTE!!! I really like it. I love drawing munki's!!!! And that Britney girl is mean. Your Munki is not "retarted" because "retarted" is NOT a word. I believe that the correct way of spelling it is "retarded". And to draw a better one with her eyes closed? Ya...I dont know ANYONE who can draw that well with their eyes closed....Your munki is super! *Lena*

This is one of the most retarded monkeys that someone has ever tried to teach someone else how to draw.
You obviously suck at drawing and your monkey is the ugliest representation of a monkey i've ever seen.
Please stop drawing. Never touch a pencil again. You have no talent. And all your fans that believe in you are midgets with aids.

Interesting that Tylina feels the need to insult everyone that likes the "retarded monkey" and calls them "midgets with aids" but can't figure out how to post ONE message on your blog.
