How to Draw a Monkey Hanging from a Tree: Step-by-Step for Kids

Monkeys are playful acrobats — this drawing shows one swinging from a branch with its long arms. It is a fun pose that is easier than it looks!

What You'll Need

• Pencil
• Eraser
• Paper
• Brown, tan, and green markers

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Draw the Tree Branch

Near the top of your paper, draw a thick horizontal branch going across the page. Add bark texture with a few short diagonal lines. Leave the monkey's hands visible gripping the branch.

Step 2: Draw the Monkey's Arms

From the branch, draw two long arms hanging downward — monkey arms are very long and slender. Draw hands gripping the branch at the top, with curved fingers curling over the bark.

Step 3: Draw the Body

Below the arms, draw an oval body hanging between the outstretched arms. The body hangs loosely — it is not stiff, it sways with the swinging motion.

Step 4: Draw the Round Head

Above the body and slightly to one side, draw a round head. In the hanging pose the head is close to the body, with the neck barely visible.

Step 5: Add the Facial Features

Draw a large oval muzzle area in the centre of the face — a lighter colour than the rest of the face. Add two round eyes above the muzzle, a small nose, and a wide curved smile.

Step 6: Draw the Ears

Add two round ears on the sides of the head. Monkey ears are circular and relatively small compared to the head.

Step 7: Draw the Legs and Feet

Below the body, draw two bent legs hanging freely. At the end of each leg, draw a foot that looks almost like a hand — monkeys can grip with their feet too! Show the toes curled or spread out.

Step 8: Add the Tail

Draw a long, curving tail from the base of the body. The tail can curl around the branch above for extra grip, or hang freely and curve in the air below the body.

Adding Colour

The body and outer face are brown. The muzzle, inner ears, and belly are lighter tan or peach. The tree branch is dark brown with hints of green lichen. Add green leaves peeking above the branch.

Tips from Parikshet

• Long arms are essential — make them longer than you think looks right, then make them even longer!
• The hanging pose means the body should look relaxed and drooping, not stiff and upright.
• Drawing the hands gripping the branch is the trickiest part — just show curved finger shapes curling over the bark.
