How to Draw a Simple Chimpanzee for Kids in 8 Easy Steps

Step 1: Chimpanzees are the animals that are most closely related to humans. Begin your chimp with a circle for its head.

Step 2: Draw an open-ended oval beneath the circle for the body.

Step 3: Draw the chimpanzee's huge ears as two sets of half-loops, one inside the other. Make sure the outer loop is darker.

Step 4: Draw the chimpanzee's left arm as two ovals joined ovals. One oval should be much longer than the other. The arm should run from right to left across the body as you look at it.

Step 5: Draw the other arms and legs as two similar sets of ovals. They should be angled to make it look like the chimpanzee is sitting.

Step 6: The chimpanzee's fur makes a heart shape around its eyes. Draw the heart and then make the mouth as an oval as if it is layered on top of the heart.

Step 7: Draw each eye as a big open circle with a shaded circle inside. Leave white dots in the corner of each shaded circle to show reflection.

Step 8: Add two lines for nostrils and a "D" shape for the mouth.
