Step 2: Face features

Draw two circles for each eye, one smaller than the other, meeting at the bottom. Shade the inner circle so that you leave a small triangle at the side without shading to give it a highlighted effect.

Draw 2 dots for the nose and a big curved line for the mouth.

How to Draw a Cute Monkey Final

Now, grab the colors of your choice and start coloring your drawing, I am sure it will be outstanding.

Tip: To show light reflection on any surface while coloring, leave a small line or sometimes circles without color as shown in the colored picture.

Tip: If you are using colored pencil and would like to achieve a 3D effect as the one in my drawing, pick a darker shade for the color you pick and go over some parts of the drawing with this darker shade as shown in the final picture, and try to blend the two colors together well on paper by easing the pressure on the pencil tip as you go towards the lighter parts.
