Hello gals, boys, and everyone.

Today I'm bringing you new pic and some shoot of the process. We continue to draw animals, and for now, this is Koala! Yay!

Process

As always I started with my erasable color pencil, I show one before here. Also, I still use unsplash for references.

When I marked every important element I started drawing leaves and shading dark zones on the koala. I used indigo for the koala, and indigo + hooker green deep for leaves.

After that – more intense shades and some carmine for eyes zone and ears. I try to simulate fur with this small smears, made koala more interesting and complex.

An easy glaze of green(still indigo + hooker green deep) and carmine for the background. I'm trying to draw more compound back for my pics.

It was actually too pastel, so I add more indigo. I used indigo + carmine to create purple detail and shades for the pink part of the background. I also keep shading koala with indigo and start to draw twigs. Twigs is a more complex part for me for now — cause I tried to mix brown using ruby, Indian gold, and indigo.

After that, I decided to draw twigs with orange (ruby + Indian gold) and add shades I made before with indigo + carmine. Few touch with white – and we've done!
