Steps

1

Start by drawing a circle. This will be the head.
2

Draw an oval at each upper side of the circle head. These will be the ears.
3
Sketch the face.
- Inside the circle draw two small circles.
- Under the ovals draw an oval with a small circle inside it.
4
Under the circle head draw a big oval with the lower part tilted to the right. This will be the body.
5
On the left upper part of the body oval draw a hand.
- Draw two big vertical overlapping ovals.
- Draw a circle over the end of the second vertical oval.
- Draw five flat ovals over the circle.
6
Under the sketch hand draw a big oval. This will be an upper part of the leg.
7
Starting from the right lower part of the body oval draw a long curved cylindrical shape reaching over the left upper part of the body oval. This will be the tail.
8
Now neatly outline the shape of the lemur over the sketch.
- Occasionally make the line using short light strokes to suggest hair.
9
Line the drawing with a black liner.
- Erase the pencil and add in color.
- Follow the illustration for reference.
- If you want to draw a Ring Tailed Lemur, Draw in dark lines over the tail.
