Donkey Kong Drawing step by step

Step 1. Draw the Muzzle and Mouth

Step 2. Draw the Eyes

Draw two round eyes above the snout. Then, sketch out the skin around the eyes.

Step 3. Create the Ears and Hair

Attach a round ear on either side of Donkey Kong’s head. Then, create a tall, pointed tuft of hair at the top of his head.

Step 4. Add the Tie

Draw the tie below the head. Now, sketch out the letters “DK” on the tie.

Step 5. Shape the Arms

Create Donkey Kong’s long, hairy arms and large hands. Make sure to erase any overlapping lines.

Step 6. Sketch the Body

Draw Donkey Kong’s hairless chest. Then, sketch out the furry parts of the body around that chest area.

Step 7. Add the legs

Draw Donkey Kong’s furry legs below the body. Now, create the feet.

Step 8. Color the Donkey Kong drawing

First, color Donkey Kong’s eyes black and white. Now, color the teeth white. Next, shade the area around the eyes with dark brown. Color the tie red and the letter “DK” yellow. Then, use brown for the fur on the body. Finally, use peach to shade the hairless parts of the face, chest, arms, and legs.
