'''''How to Draw Donkey Kong & Friends''''' is a 1997 book written by [[Michael Teitelbaum]] and illustrated by [[Leif Peng]]. The book features a series of how-to-draw artwork based on the protagonists and antagonists of the ''[[Donkey Kong Country (series)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' series. It starts with a foreword "written" by [[Cranky Kong]], who claims that he wrote it since [[Donkey Kong]] was too lazy. Some of the book's artwork is unique, with some (such as [[Cranky Kong]] and [[Funky Kong]]) using new poses and others (such as [[Rambi the Rhino]] and [[Expresso the Ostrich]]) directly taking their poses from existing artwork.

A successor was released in 2000, also written by Michael Teitelbaum, titled ''[[How to Draw Nintendo Heroes and Villains]]''.
