Next, connect the koala to the branch byrendering the chest.

Once again, sketch the hand by creating four rectangular appendages.
To do this, we will sketch two half ovals on either side of the branch.
The toes on the left side should resemble short rectangles.

These help the koala keep itself stable on the tree branch.
Before we start adding more detail, considererasing some of the unnecessary pencil marksthat overlap.

So, using your pen of choice, slowly go over all of your pencil lines.
Once you are sure that the ink has dried, carefully erase the remaining pencil marks.
You’ve now drawn your own cuddly koala bear.
