How to Draw a Kinkajou
Draw a kinkajou in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: big round head.
Step 1: Big round head
Near the top, a little left of the middle, draw a big round head, wider than it is tall.
Tip Leave room on the right for the long tail.
Step 2: Round ears
On each side of the head, above the middle, draw a small round ear with a smaller circle inside.
Tip The ears sit on the sides, not on top.
Step 3: Big eyes
Across the middle of the head draw 2 big round eyes. Add a big black dot and a white shine in each.
Step 4: Muzzle and smile
Below the eyes draw a wide oval muzzle. Inside it, at the top, draw a nose and a small w smile.
Tip Keep a gap between the eyes and the muzzle.
Step 5: Round body
Start on the left cheek. Draw a big C down and along the bottom, up to the right cheek.
Tip The body is a little narrower than the head.
Step 6: Front legs
Below the chin, draw 2 legs, thinner at the ankle, into fat mitten paws. Add toe lines.
Step 7: Back legs
On each side, draw a bun back paw with a plump C leg above it.
Step 8: Curly tail
Start behind the right back leg. Draw a long thick tail sweeping out and up, curling in at the tip.
Tip The tail is as long as the whole kinkajou. It gets a little thinner toward the tip.
Step 9: Ground line
Draw a long ground line under the paws and the tail.
Step 10: Cream and peach
Go over your lines. Colour the muzzle cream around the nose, and the inside of each ear peach. Leave the eyes white.
Step 11: Golden fur
Colour the head, ears, body, legs and tail golden brown, around the muzzle and the ear insides.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a kinkajou, drawn by you.
