Step 6: On the bottom part of Diddy Kong's body, draw two angled lines as guides for his legs. At the end of each line, draw a small oval as guides for his feet.

Step 7: Draw a guide for Diddy Kong's tail on the right side of his body near the right hand. The line is similar to the letter S.

Step 8: That’s it for the initial sketch! You have the basic Diddy Kong shape, so now go in and tighten your drawing. From this point on, press harder with your pencil in order to get darker lines and a more defined sketch.

Step 9: Use the first oval you drew as a guide to draw Diddy Kong’s muzzle. Darken the sides of the oval and make the left side narrower. Curve the horizontal line in the middle for his wavy smile. Draw a small line below it for his lower lip. At the top of the oval draw two small slits for Diddy Kong's nostrils.

Step 10: Draw Diddy Kong's eyes sitting on top of his muzzle. First draw a line that’s similar to the letter M. The M shape dips in the middle at the vertical guide line you drew earlier. Inside the M, draw two ovals for Diddy Kong's eyes. Inside each eye draw and shade in another oval for his pupils.
