How to draw a koala with a pencil step by step

Now we have a lesson in drawing such an animal as a koala with a pencil in stages. The koala is a marsupial and lives in Australia. Koalas eat only leaves and shoots of eucalyptus. Eucalyptus leaves themselves are poisonous and koalas look for trees where the concentration of toxic substances is the lowest, because of this, not all types of eucalyptus are suitable for food. Koala does not move almost all the time (almost 18 hours a day), she sleeps during the day and eats at night. It descends to the ground only when it cannot jump to a new tree. However, in case of danger, the koala can run very fast and jump far, and can also swim.

Let's start drawing. The video of the lesson is at the very bottom, where each step is shown step by step in real time, as the author draws. Draw the head and ears.

Then eyes and nose.

Darken the upper part of the eyes and hatch the nose.

Draw the body of the koala.

Now the branches of the tree on which the koala is sitting.

Draw a fatter contour with jerky lines and draw the front paw.

Now the hind leg.

We draw the branches and leaves of the tree, add the visible part of the second front and second hind legs.

We shade.
