This koala we have worked on in this guide is looking so cute, but there has been lots of room left for you to add some of your own extra touches. One way of doing this is by adding some extra objects and accessories. These could include some eucalyptus leaves for it to munch or maybe something fun like a bow in its hair! Add the eyes, the ears and the nostrils. Sketch the tail and begin to draw the legs and the forearms. Learning how to draw animals is also about getting the animal’s personality right. Practice drawing a dog’s expression. Examine it closely and compare it to that of a human. Is it sad? Is it angry? Does the dog seem intelligent or lazy? Then, add details that are similar to the ones we used for the koala, but make sure to account for the tiger’s specific features. If you take it slowly and break it down into simpler shapes, you will be able to create any animals drawing you like.
