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
Draw a small circle for the head and a long curved line downwards for the back.
2
Draw a large oval for the belly and add two diagonal lines for the branch it is sitting on.
3
Place thin guide lines for the long arms and legs, and make a small cross in the face.
4
Make the arms and legs thicker by drawing ovals around them and give him chubby cheeks.
5
Draw small hands and feet with long fingers at the ends of the arms and legs.
6
Give the gibbon a small nose and eyes where the guide lines are in the face.
7
Now draw the fur with short, wiggly lines and make the tree branch a bit thicker with extra details.
8
Carefully erase the guide lines and make the outer lines of your gibbon extra dark.
