How to Draw a Realistic Gorilla - Step-by-Step Tutorial
Step 1: Start off with the head and body, by drawing an oval, then on the bottom right hand side of that draw a small circle, then below that big circle.
Step 2: Next we can add some features to the face. Add eyes, mouth and nostrils, and tiny ears.
Step 3: To draw the back, draw a long diagonal line coming down from the head and following the outsides of the circles.
Step 4: Now we're ready to add the arms. Draw a straight line down from the left side of the body, but make it slightly wavy to resemble fur.
Step 5: Add the second arm in front of the first, and remember to draw lots of wavy lines inside it.
Step 6: Draw the first hind leg in the same way.
Step 7: Now draw the other hind leg behind the first and behind the body.
Step 8: Draw little ovals on the bottom of the legs to make feet and toes.
Step 9: You've finished your Gorilla!
