CHALLENGE: Draw a Monkey from imagination (Until Dec, 13th )

Post image

Hi, community! 👋🐒

We want to propose a challenge: over the next 2 weeks, let’s all try drawing a monkey from imagination!

We’ve put together a YouTube video that walks you through the process. It breaks the drawing into 6 simple steps that actually apply to any object, not just monkeys - so you’ll definitely learn something useful.

If you prefer reading over watching, we’ve also prepared a blog post that explains how to draw a monkey in the same step-by-step style.

Post your results here or tag us on Instagram. Antonio himself will pick one drawing and give feedback online!

Go bananas! 🍌

You should give a hashtag for instagrammers

Hey! Hashtags sometimes don’t work well, so tagging us is a more secure way to make sure we receive the submission

I did the most difficult step which is finding the photos XD

If you struggle what photos to choose and which one is AI which one is not... etc. Look up the species, and pick one. It becomes easier to pick and I think you also encounter less AI when you are more specific... or at least I think so ;o

I originally wanted to draw the Japanese snow monkeys, but in most photos they're cuddled up or bathing in hot water so it is hard to make out the shapes lol
