Frequently asked questions

What color should I make the orangutan?
Orangutans are usually orange or reddish-brown in color.
Should I start with a pencil or a marker?
Always start with a pencil, so you can easily erase the guide lines later.
Why does an orangutan have such long arms?
This allows them to swing very easily from branch to branch in the tall trees.
What if my circle isn't perfectly round?
That doesn't matter at all, because in nature no animal is perfectly straight!
