Donkey Kong was one of the first games Nintendo made famous. Despite its rudimentary graphics (it was a 1981 game after all), the game wasn't bad fun. It's easy to pick up, but the later you get, the harder it is to score, so it's no wonder it became the hero's worst nightmare in the movie Pixel Wars.

Did you know? In the game's setting, Donkey Kong is Mario's pet. Suddenly one day Mario got a girlfriend and left Donkey Kong alone.

Jealous, Donkey Kong hijacks Mario's girlfriend and climbs to the roof of the construction site to try to stop Mario from coming to his rescue.

Players will need to control Mario as he runs and jumps on platforms, climbs ladders and ascends construction sites to rescue his girlfriend from Donkey Kong. This was the first time Mario appeared in a video game.

For today's drawing tutorial, our subject is Donkey Kong, who wears a red tie and looks very strong, just like the King Kong you often see in the movies.
