Well… I mean, I drew a monkey, and then painted it in with water-color paints, and then did the outlines with ink. And then I scanned it and put it is to Photoshop and zoomed in and cleaned up all the tiny details and smudges.
What I want to know is this: Is it cute enough to use in a book for kids. I will have to do about 12 more monkeys… funny monkeys… doing things… I can’t explain it all now. But is this a monkey that little kids would love?

Pouring My Art Out 
I like your drawing very much. He looks so happy! Very nice monkey. With the heavier brow and the line under his mouth he looks older — as in, not a young monkey. I have a lot of questions about the monkey, but I’m guessing you’ll share more as time goes on. Creating books for kids is something I value so much. My children and I just got home from the library, actually! So I wish you well on this wonderful adventure.
Thanks… I might do a few more touch ups on the artwork before it id done.
Are all your monkeys going to be naked? How will we tell them apart? Pretty good drawing of a monkey though – I like Zoe’s idea of polka dotting some of them.
I may just do that.
I heard Curious George took one look at this monkey and he quit!
Yay… I mean… wait… I don’t want to be the guy who… oh forget it… yeah I do… bye George!
By George, I think we’ve got it!
I always wondered where that expression came from… I guess I could Goggle it…
Absolutely! You captured the essence of a little kid in your monkey — any kid would love it. I do!
Yay… thanks…
😎
If I was into monkeys, I’d say that one is a superior and attractive member of the primate family.
I could make a monkey so sexy you couldn’t help but be into it… ha… and thanks.
😀
I vote “cute”.
By the way, about 12 monkeys doing things… are you working on an animated version of “12 Monkeys”? (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114746/)
No… still just a kid’s book.
Just asked my son and he loved it! He said he liked his big head and pink nose…i asked what name would you give him, he kept it simple enough “monkey-boy” because he said it looked like a boy, lol! Very cute:)
Weirdly, my friend Bryan, the one I saw with Les Claypool just last week, was in a band called M.I.R.V. and they did a song called monkey boy… tell him thanks for me.
yes it is cute, i am a monkey lover and kindy teacher and i think we would all enjoy seeing him in a book
Thank you so much… there will be a classroom discount on large orders…
I say yes. (And I act like a kid sometimes, so my opinion should definitely suffice)
I am a kid all the time, so I know what you mean.
So cute!
Yay.
Hey is that the new george?
Are you just curious? Ha!
It needs sunglasses and facial hair to be believable.
Ha.
Yes, you know what else would be good with some other monkeys that you have to make? Polka dot monkeys and such. 😉
I did that on my alien.
But I like it.
I do too, I just meant if you have to create a bunch of different ones
I think you may be on to something here.
mawahaha!
“I will have to do about 12 more monkeys… funny monkeys… doing things… I can’t explain it all now.”
Hmm, suspicious. Sounds like some monkey business going on there.
That is the idea… get filthy rich off cute monkeys.
You’re not sure if that monkey is fit for a book? Why can’t you do it? Why can’t you set your monkey free?
I am just looking for validation… and a banana…
The nose isn’t particularly monkey like, but yeah, it’s cute.
Was the earlier picture one of a monkey head photoshopped on your body?
(Did you make a monkey out of you?)
HAHAHAHA
It’s been known to happen… and yes… yes I did.
I think it is cute 🙂
(disregard my comment on the previous post, I didn’t know you had already come up with this!)
Thanks.
Its pretty bloody cute!
Yay.
Cool monkey 🙂
Thank you.
