It was a bit of a challenge taking a reference photo of a koala AWAKE, I had to wait for one of the keepers at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary to rustle some fresh gum leaves to wake him from his slumber. I do wonder what koalas dream about whilst they sleep most of the day. Probably about the peril their species is under and how their numbers are in decline.
In this drawing, I have a whistling duck and a koala looking toward a better future.
Detail of my favourite bit on every koala, their chin.
This work is drawn on Fabriano paper mounted on a birch wooden panel and varnished so no need for glass. It is framed and ready to hang.
Work in progress layering up the koala’s fur.
Starting details for the whistling duck.
