These primates look like they come from a different planet. Those long faces, tiny eyes, and cat-like bodies sure will impress anyone who sees them for the first time. Most of the mandrills prefer to live in tropical rainforests. It’s incredibly difficult for them to survive in any other environment.

Plus, these creatures like to live in large groups – that helps them fight off the predators more effectively. What do they eat, you might ask? Insects and fruits, mostly, which is more than enough for their bodies to function fully. According to the scientists, mandrills are the biggest monkeys on planet Earth.

Some Things To Keep In Mind…

These tutorials are only here to guide you. Your drawing does not need to look "identical" to mine.

Start with rough but light pencil strokes that you can work into the shapes you want.

Once you have your rough drawing completed, go over it in a darker stroke for your final drawing.

Add shading and/or color to complete if desired.

Using this technique you will be able to draw anything after some practice... even without following step-by-step tutorials.
