Time Needed: 20 minutes

1. Form The Head

   

   Form the furry round shape of the lemur’s head. Next, draw two circles for its eyes. Now, create a rounded triangular shape to form its snout. Draw its nose and mouth inside the drawn snout by creating a rounded shape and a line curving upwards.

2. Add The Ears

   

   Add the lemur’s ears by drawing two pointed lines on both sides of the lemur’s head.

3. Draw The Body And Tail

   

   Now, create an elongated shape to form the lemur’s body. Next, attach a long curvy shape to the lemur’s body to draw its tail..

4. Attach The Limbs

   

   First, form the lemur’s arms near the top part of its body as shown. Next, add the lemur’s legs attached to the bottom of its body.

5. Create The Fur Pattern

   

   Now, let’s draw the fur pattern on the lemur’s head by creating a line curving upwards and drawing rounded shapes around its eyes. Next, outline the fur pattern on its belly as shown. Then, create curved lines along its tail to draw its striped tail.

6. Complete The Lemur Drawing

   

   Let’s finish the lemur drawing by adding some color! First, use an orange crayon to shade its eyes. Next, use a black crayon to color its nose. Now, shade the lemur’s body and limbs with a light gray crayon. Then, color the snout, inner parts of its ears, the fur pattern on its forehead, and around its eyes with the dark gray crayon. After that, use white and black crayons to color its tail. Finally, shade the rest of the lemur with a white crayon.
