How to Draw a Monkey Face
Draw a monkey face in 10 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: the head.
Step 1: The head
Draw a big round head, a little wider than tall, filling most of the page. Leave room for the ears.
Step 2: Big round ears
On each side of the head draw a big round C ear sticking out. Start and stop on the head.
Tip Monkey ears stick out like 2 cup handles.
Step 3: Two big eyes
Just below the middle of the head draw 2 big eggy eyes close together. Colour a black dot in each.
Step 4: Heart face
Draw a big wide heart around the eyes, with a dip between them. Leave a gap round the eyes.
Step 5: Nose and smile
Colour 2 nostril dots in the heart. From under the left eye draw a wide U smile to the right.
Step 6: Inside the ears
Inside each ear draw a smaller C, starting and stopping on the head line.
Step 7: Hair tuft
On top of the head draw 3 soft hill bumps of hair. Start and stop on the head line.
Step 8: Rosy cheeks
Under each eye, inside the heart, draw a little oval blush and colour it pink.
Step 9: Tan face
Colour the heart face patch and the ear insides tan, around the eyes and cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 10: Brown fur
Colour the head, the ears and the hair tuft brown, around the face patch and the ear insides.

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a monkey face, drawn by you.
