Gorilla Grodd (The Flash) or King Kong (Kong: Skull Island) Tutorial

With the Gorilla City storyline prominent in The Flash and Kong: Skull Island released this week, it’s the best time to learn how to draw a gorilla! This tutorial is somewhat unique in that it can be several characters, depending on your context. GORILLA GRODD from The Flash? Sure! KING KONG from the upcoming Kong: Skull Island? Of course! BUCK from Rise of the Planet of the Apes? Yes! HARAMBE? Why not?

Normally I do tutorials on characters with costumes, but with Grodd/Kong I’m making an exception, because the fact that they’re superpowered gorillas gives them enough of a distinction anyway.

Context is everything, so I encourage you to draw a background for this tutorial! Depending on how you do the background you could make this drawing look like a 50-foot gorilla or as a part of an ape army. Up to you!

Happy drawing,
Ramny

GORILLA GRODD CHARACTER BIO:

Grodd is a silverback gorilla that was experimented on by S.T.A.R. Labs, and is now currently the only known non-human meta-human, rather being known as a meta-gorilla. After being exposed to the energy from the particle accelerator, Grodd then escaped his cage and developed powerful psychic abilities, becoming a near-unstoppable enemy of the Flash.
