1
Draw a large circle to create the basic shape for the koala bear's head. Then draw two small half-circles that are off-centered from the top center placement on the head. These two half-circles will create the ears.

Use your colored pencils to create depth on the inner area of the ears. Black, gray and white pencils will make the koala's ears look realistic. Use the black pencil to give the ear a "leathery" look, and use the rest of the pencils making short and straight strokes to give it fur.

Create the koala's nose by drawing a rectangle with rounded corners in the center of the koala's face. In the bottom third of the of the rectangle, draw a curved line that looks like an upside-down moon. Inside the smaller are you've just drawn, draw a "Y" shape to make the bear's nostrils.

Color the larger rectangle area black and use a light pink pencil to color the bear's nostrils.

Place the koala's eyes to the outside edges of it's nose. The tops of the eyes and nose should all be in a straight line. Draw two small circles with your brown pencil to create the eyes. Use your black pencil to create a vertical slit in each eye.

Make the koala's mouth by using your black pencil and drawing a slightly curved line beneath the nose. Visualize a vertical line going straight down from the inner edge of the eyes. The ends of the mouth on the koala should not go past this visual line. Draw a "U" shape under the center of mouth and color this area with your light pink pencil. Use your white pencil to draw short and straight lines around the pink area to give the mouth a fur look.

Finish drawing the koala's face by using pencils to give the bear fur. White, black and gray pencils will work best. Use the short and straight movements to create straight fur. Fill in the koala's face lightly with fur, while filling in the areas around the eyes, mouth, nose and ears more heavily.
