"How to draw a cartoon monkey. Start with a circle. Make the eyes come out of the circle. Make the eyes look any which way you want. Give him a bottom lip. Now make the head come out from around there. Give him a little bit of a nose right there. Ears on the side. And there is our basic monkey. Now all you have got to do is give him the body. Here's the neck. You can give him kind of squiggly arms to show that he is being silly. Arms kind of dancing around. Now most monkeys a lot of them have longer arms than their hind legs. So don't forget that. Give him a round oval right there for his belly and he can be with or without tail. And there we have our monkey."
