How to Draw Donkey Kong Pixel Art

1. Start with a wide rectangle at the top. On the left, add two squares that point downward in a diagonal line. Repeat this process with three squares on the right, then add two longer rectangles on the left.

2. Fill in the boxes that you just drew with black. On the left, add an upside-down L-shape. Draw a square, add a rectangle underneath and draw another square at the end.

Draw a rectangle underneath the three squares that you drew in first step. Add another rectangle with an upside-down L-shape underneath.

3. Continue to fill in the boxes from the previous step. Add a rectangle extending from the left, then draw four squares that point downward in a diagonal line.

For the right, make an L-shape followed by two squares to complete the head. Use two more rectangles for the mouth and a square for the nose.

4. Sketch a long rectangle on the left, and add a pointing downward like a staircase. Draw two squares followed by a stretched-out L-shape.

5. Make two rectangles pointing upward. Add two squares followed by a rectangle with two squares at the top, forming a Y-shape. Draw another square and rectangle to the right.

6. For the right leg, start with two squares and a short rectangle. Make a longer vertical rectangle, and round it off with a horizontal rectangle.

Sketch two rectangles that form a T-shape. Draw another vertical rectangle, then add two squares to complete the leg.

7. Make a long vertical rectangle in the center of the body. Draw a short L-shape with a longer L-shape underneath. Complete the body with a square and another rectangle on the right.

8. Sketch two rectangles to add more detail to the eyes. Start with a square and rectangle on the left side of the body, then add two more squares and a zig-zag with the same rectangle shapes.

9. Use thin lines to outline the eyes. Afterward, draw more thin lines across the body. This will help you separate the different colors.

10. Use black to fill in the squares and rectangles. Don't use a pen to outline the thin lines--you'll use these to color the body.

Now that you've completed your cartoon Donkey Kong, use dark brown to color the fur and tan for the rest of the body. Leave the eyes white. For the tie, use bright red and yellow.
