How to Draw a Baby Monkey Hanging From a Vine · tinyhandscreate.com
Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The head
Draw a big circle that is a little wider than it is tall. Leave a small gap at the top where the hair tuft will go.
Step 3: Tummy and one foot
Under the head, draw a round, egg-shaped tummy that starts at the bottom of the head on each side. At the bottom right of the tummy, add a small oval foot.
Step 4: Round ears
Draw a circle on each side of the head, so the ears peek out like two big buttons. Let each one touch the head line.
Step 5: Arms and second foot
Draw two bendy arms from the sides of the tummy up toward the sides of the head. Then add a small oval foot at the bottom left of the tummy to match the other one.
Step 6: The face mask
Inside the head, draw a heart shape with a dip at the top and two soft bumps for the cheeks. This is the monkey's face.
Step 7: Eyes, nose and mouth
Fill in two round dots for eyes. Add a tiny oval nose between them, then a small open mouth below with a flat top and curved sides.
Step 8: Tail and hair tuft
On the left side of the tummy, draw a curly tail that starts at the tummy, curves out and curls up. Then add a short little dash in the gap at the top of the head for a tuft of hair.
Step 9: The vine
Draw a thick curved line across the top, like a smiling mouth. Add two straight lines hanging down from it to the top of the monkey's ears.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a baby monkey hanging from a vine
- Draw the head circle first and the tummy second, so the body sits neatly under the head.
- The heart-shaped face is the trickiest part. Start with the dip in the middle of the top, then draw a bump out to each side.
- Keep the two vine lines straight and the same length so the monkey hangs evenly. A ruler or the edge of a book helps.
