Step-by-Step Instructions for Drawing a Cute Monkey
How to Draw a Great Looking Cute Monkey for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin the cute monkey outline by drawing the animal's face. Start with curved lines - one for the nose and one below each of the eyes. Enclose partial ovals to form the eyes.
Draw three successively smaller ovals inside each, and shade between them. Draw short lines for eyebrows, and enclose the incomplete teardrop shapes of the nostrils below the nose.

2. Use a series of long and short curved lines to enclose the face and ears. Notice the lines that meet at jagged points on the cheek, forming a tuft of fur. Use short lines to sketch the open, smiling mouth.

Maybe we like monkeys because they seem so similar to us. Their eyes, ears, noses, and hands are more similar to ours than any other animal. They hold things in their hands like we do - such as the banana in this picture.
The main differences are the monkey's fur and prehensile tail, which is used like an extra hand. This monkey has his wrapped around the branch to keep his balance and hold on tight.
