We're going to begin with the brow above the nose down over and up.
And then bring that in just a little on both sides again.
Down, over and up.
Bring it in the inside.
Now for the eyes.
Down, up, down, up.
Excellent.
Next is the nose.
Starting from the base of th brow, we're going to come down.
Up, down and up and.
And again.
Now for the other side.
Down.
Up, down and up and back.
You're doing great.
All right.
A gorillas newsprint is said to be as unique as a human fingerprint.
Next.
The pupils in the eyes.
One and two.
Now there's some bags just under the eyes.
Come in a little space and connect in a little space.
And connect.
Now we're going to add the forehead.
We come up.
Little letter alma shape and down for the brow.
One two lines.
Next are the cheeks, which will lead us right into the mouth, starting from the base of the eye.
Come down and then the mouth, just like so.
Down, down, down and cap it off with one two lines.
For the chin.
We're going to start at this lip right here.
So we're going to come in just a little bit to form the lip.
And then down around and up slightly.
For the other side of the head we're going to come down around and up.
We're going to leave a space here.
We're going to we add the chest down letter you up and in.
Gorillas live in close knit family groups called troops.
Up down up down up down.
We gave him a six pack.
Now back to the top of the head.
Here we have a little fluff of air.
Now we're going to start right at this brow and work our way up around.
This is going to form the head, but we're going to come out a little bi and then stop right as we get to this jawline.
Next we have the first arm out in around scribble, scribble, scribble up.
One.
Two lines.
A little marking just here where the elbow would be for the hand.
Down, over, up, down and one two more times and connect.
Excellent.
Let's continue the body on this side down.
And then we add the legs real short out and scribble.
Scribble and up little legs over, down and up and connect.
reset right.
This helps create a sort of forced perspective by making the legs very small and tiny, and then the body wider and expanding out.
It makes the character appear much larger.
Now for the feet.
One, two, three, four.
Again, one, two, three and four.
For the other arm.
Out in all around.
Scribble, scribble, scribble up and connect again.
That little marking there where the elbow is.
Remember, if you're going to Gorilla Hamburger, be sure to wear your ape run.
And then the hand down and it goes behind the foot.
There's that first finger.
And then one mor and then one more and connect.
Lastly we add just a little bit of texture, just some fur, quick little rapid lines.
And then maybe one little tooth.
Be sure to sign your name.
Take pride in your work.
And there is your gorilla.
Good job.
You get an A-plus.
