Let us start off by drawing out a circle
shape for Donkey's head. Add one horizontal facial guide like so.
STEP 2.
We will now begin drawing the lower half of
Donkey Kong's face. This is shaped like a great big apple. Draw the
bumps for his nostrils, then add some dashes for the holes.
STEP 3.
Next, let's make that great big smile upon
his face. Start from one side of the mouth and begin drawing out the
open smile. You can do this by making the top mouth line, then make one
swoop for the bottom mouth line. Add a dimple under the mouth for added
detail.
STEP 4.
Yup, you will now draw in the teeth. Make
five vertical lines like so, then draw one straight horizontal line
across the middle. When you are done you should end up with a set of
some nice pearly whites.
STEP 5.
As you can see here we will be tackling the
task of drawing out the framed portion of Donkey Kong's face. Start by
drawing an arbor shaped frame, then make the inner line which will be
home to his eyes.
STEP 6.
Before drawing Donkey Kong's eyes, let's
draw out the shape of his melon of a head. You will also have to
incorporate the shapes of his ears which are almost flush with the
shaping of his head. Draw the cute little curl on the top like so, then
move to step seven where we will finish Donkey off.
STEP 7.
Now you can draw out the eyeballs and color
in some pupils. Add some inner ear detailing then start erasing your
lines and shapes that you made in step one, as well as along the way.
STEP 8.
Here he is, all buttoned up and beautiful.
Now all that is left to do is color in your work. I hope you enjoyed
drawing Donkey Kong in an easy to follow manner.
