How to Draw a Gorilla

Here’s how to draw a gorilla face with a little attitude. My tutorial will help even kinders can make a pretty mean looking work of art.

Starting this drawing with a rounded rectangle will help you get that big head, no neck look that most gorillas have. Add a lopsided mouth and angry eyes and you have a gorilla that does not want to be messed around with.
