Drawing a happy gibbon in 8 steps

Animals
Hi little artist! Today we are going to draw a gibbon, which is a super agile monkey with very long arms. Grab your pencil and eraser. We'll start with simple shapes and before you know it, your monkey will be swinging across the paper!
1
A circle for the head and a curved line for the gibbon's body.
Draw a small circle for the head and a long curved line downwards for the back.
2
A large oval as the belly and two lines forming a tree branch.
Draw a large oval for the belly and add two diagonal lines for the branch it is sitting on.
3
Long lines for the limbs and guide lines in the circle of the face.
Place thin guide lines for the long arms and legs, and make a small cross in the face.
4
Thicker shapes for the arms and legs and round cheeks on the head.
Make the arms and legs thicker by drawing ovals around them and give him chubby cheeks.
5
Details of the hands and feet with narrow fingers.
Draw small hands and feet with long fingers at the ends of the arms and legs.
6
The gibbon's face with eyes and a small nose.
Give the gibbon a small nose and eyes where the guide lines are in the face.
7
Hairy lines for the fur and more details on the branches.
Now draw the fur with short, wiggly lines and make the tree branch a bit thicker with extra details.
8
The completed drawing of a gibbon without guide lines.
Carefully erase the guide lines and make the outer lines of your gibbon extra dark.
