That's it for the initial sketch! From this point on, press harder with your pencil to get a more defined sketch.

Step 6: Draw the monkey's eyes inside the head using the lines as guides for placement. The shape of the eyes is similar to a football. Draw a small circle inside each eye to represent glare. Then draw another circle and shade it in for the pupils. Darken the outline of the monkey's eyes more and shade in the rest of the eyeball.

Step 7: Draw the monkey's nose under the area where the two guide lines intersect. The nose consists of a curved line on the right side for the bridge of the nose and a shaded oval on the left as the nostril. Draw a few more lines around the monkey's nose for structure.

Step 8: Draw a few lines above the monkey's eyes for a furrowed brow. This gives the monkey more character and makes it less static.

Step 9: Under the nose, draw a curved line for the monkey's mouth.
