Step 1: Outline Basic Shapes
Monkey's Body and Head: Draw a large oval for the body and a smaller circle at the top of the oval for the head.
Ears: Add two smaller circular shapes on either side of the head circle for the ears.
Tail: Draw a long, curved line from the lower part of the oval body to represent the tail.

Step 2: Add Facial Details and Body Features
Face: Inside the head circle, draw two small round eyes, a cute round nose, and a big smiling mouth.
Ears Details: Add a smaller circle inside each ear for the inner ear detail.
Body: Add two long, skinny oval shapes at the sides of the body for the arms, and two smaller ovals at the bottom for the legs.

Step 3: Refine the Monkey's Features
Hands and Feet: Sketch tiny oval shapes at the end of the arms and legs for the hands and feet.
Fur Details: Draw short, curved lines on the body to give texture to the monkey's fur coat.
Tail Detail: Add a swirl to the curved line of the tail to make it look more realistic.

Step 4: Add Shading and Depth
Body and Limbs: Lightly shade under the arms, legs, and belly to give the monkey dimension.
Facial Features: Add tiny highlights in the eyes and on the nose to bring the monkey to life.
Tail: Shade along the tail to add depth.

Step 5: Final Touches
Highlighting: Add little highlights on the monkey’s ears to make them pop.
Shadows: Emphasize shadows around the feet and tummy for a more realistic look.
Extra Details: Add any final textures or shading to the fur to complete your monkey drawing.
