How to draw a koala?

Do you think drawing a koala bear is difficult ?

Certainly not with Paweł Cwalina's Endo drawing lesson. In an easy-to-follow way, the artist demonstrates how to create the smiling face of this lovable Australian bear using pencil, marker, and paint.

1. 1. Pencil sketch. Start with a simple pencil sketch. First, draw a large circle, which we'll soon turn into the bear's head. Divide it in half with a horizontal line (don't worry, it's just a guide). Above the line, draw smaller circles on each side, which will serve as the koala's ears. Just below the line, draw an oval nose, and then eyes on either side. And there you have it... a lifelike koala!
   2. Add definition. Using a black marker, draw a jagged line around the oval of the head and ears, imitating the lush fur of a marsupial. If you think koalas have ruffled fur, add a few more lines.
   3. Draw the face. Add the remaining facial features: eyes, nose, eyebrows, and that cheeky teddy bear smile.
   4. Time to tidy up. Once you have all your outlines, erase the pencil marks with an eraser.
   5. Add color. The final step is to paint the koala's ears with blue, red, and yellow paints, or another color, preferably your favorite!
