How to draw monkeys jumping on the bed step by step
How to Draw Monkeys Jumping on the Bed · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Three monkeys
Draw three small monkeys in a row, with the middle one a bit higher than the other two. Give each a happy face with two dot eyes and a curved smile, a wiggly body line, a curly tail, and three short jump lines underneath.
Step 2: Ears and hands
Draw a big round ear on each side of every head. Add a little curved arm on each side that reaches up toward the ear, so each monkey looks like it is waving.
Step 3: Tummy and feet
Draw a rounded line down the front of each body to make the tummy. Finish with a little double loop at the bottom for the tucked-up feet.
Step 4: Bed posts
Draw a tall upside-down U on the left for the headboard. Then draw a shorter upside-down U on the right for the footboard.
Step 5: The pillow
Next to the headboard, draw a soft dome like a little hill with the bottom left open. This is the puffy pillow.
Step 6: The wavy blanket
Start at the headboard with a straight line under the pillow, then let it rise and dip in gentle waves until it reaches the right post. The bumps make the bed look squishy and bouncy.
Step 7: The bed frame
Draw one long straight line low between the two posts. This is the bed frame that holds the mattress up.
All done!
Go over your lines with a marker, then color it in.

Tips for drawing monkeys jumping on the bed
- Draw the middle monkey a little higher than the other two. This makes the group look like they are bouncing at different times.
- Draw the ears on both sides of each head and keep them the same size. Matching ears keep the faces looking friendly.
- Take your time with the wavy blanket line. Start at the headboard and let the pencil rise and fall slowly instead of drawing it all at once.
