The koala is Australia's national treasure, an exotic and valuable animal that lives almost its entire life in trees. The koala's staple food is eucalyptus leaves, which have in common a high protein and water content and a relatively low fiber content.

But then again leaves are not a very nutritious food, which is why the koala has become so lazy - there's not much extra energy for it to squander.

Koalas are the sleepiest animals in the world, sleeping up to about 22 hours a day. When awake, they also spend most of their time eating. Except during the hottest seasons, they get all the water they need from leaves.

Big ears, big nose, chubby body, small round eyes, coupled with a docile character, slow reaction, looks like a naive look, so the koala in the hearts of many people are a symbol of adorable.

In this simple tutorial today, we are going to learn how to draw a koala. It is sitting obediently on a branch with a curious look in its eyes, as if it has seen something that it has seen for the first time.
