Koala Drawing

In this post, we will learn how to draw a koala drawing on paper. To make sure it looks great, we will observe the different sizes and shapes of each part of the koala. The lines in each illustration is drawn in blue so you can observe the current parts that you will be drawing.

Time Needed: 30 minutes

1. Form The Face

   

   First, create two ovals for the eyes and a rounded rectangle for the nose. Draw the mouth by making two lines curving upward.

2. Outline The Head

   

   Outline the rounded shape of the koala’s head.

3. Attach The Ears

   

   First, draw the bumpy outline of the koala bear’s ears. Then, draw a curved line to form the inner part of each ear.

4. Outline The Body

   

   Now, create an oval to form the shape of the koala’s body.

5. Draw A Tree Branch

   

   Let’s add a tree branch for the koala to climb on by making two curved lines.

6. Add The Limbs

   

   Now, draw the koala’s arm by creating a bumpy horizontal shape. Next, form the koala’s leg by creating a line curving downwards. Attach the koala’s foot on the right side of the leg as shown. Then, form the koala’s claws by drawing the small pointed shapes.

7. Draw The Mane And Underbelly

   

   Draw the koala’s mane by creating bumpy lines. Next, outline the underbelly by creating a diagonal line.

8. Add The Tail

   

   Draw a curved line to form the koala’s tail.

9. Complete The Koala Bear Drawing

   

   Let’s now add color to our drawing of a koala! First, use a dark gray crayon to shade the nose, claws and inner part of the ears. Next, color the mane and underbelly with a white crayon. Now, fill in the rest of the koala bear’s fur with a gray crayon. Then, use a brown crayon to color the tree branch.
