Learn More About The Marmoset Drawing

Many people choose monkeys as their favorite animals. But have you ever heard of the small monkeys known as marmosets?

You can learn how to draw a marmoset with the help of this easy, step-by-step realistic animal drawing guide.

At first glance, you might think the common marmoset pictured here looks like something out of a science fiction story.

It has fur sticking out like wings on both sides of its head, and it appears to be wearing a hood due to the markings around its face. Its back and tail are striped.

Scroll down for a downloadable PDF of this tutorial.

But these characteristics aren't so strange. The ring-tailed lemur in this lemur drawing has a similarly striped tail. Lemurs aren't monkeys, but they are primates.

Likewise, many types of monkeys have different-colored faces. Take this monkey face drawing, for example.
