Description
Been meaning to draw some primate anatomy tutorials for a while now since its very rare and far in between to find them among tons upon tons of drawing tutorials about felines, canines, horses, etc. Its a pretty basic shape breakdown of different select Old World monkeys, New World monkeys and apes (not including humans cause tutorials for those are virtually unlimited unlike the rest of primates) and admittingly its not the very best but its a start nonetheless. I do plan on making something a bit more complex later on but for now hopefully these can be enough help for those who would need this. Trust me, the amount of people i've seen who cant draw monkeys or apes to save their behinds is enough for me to reach the point to finally snap and say "Enough! Let me show you how it's done goddamit!"

Apes are a type of Old World monkey (made separately from the Old World references for the sake of convenience) which include the great apes and the lesser apes. They are the largest of primates as wel as famously possesing no tail at all. Other key differences from regular monkeys is how their shoulders are a lot more broader as well as having a sort of swagger to their gaits while most monkeys have shoulders facing forward and a more cat-like walk.

Species shown here:

Chimpanzee, bornean orangutan, bonobo, western gorilla, eastern gorilla, lar gibbon, siamang
