Koala Hugging a Tree Trunk in Patterned Fur

A koala hugs a rough tree trunk with one paw raised high and the other arm wrapped across the wood, looking out with big round eyes and a wide dark nose. Its fur is drawn as detailed patterns instead of plain shading. Zigzag spikes, feather shapes, layered scales, teardrops and small dots fill the face, the large fluffy ears, the arm and the curled legs. The trunk is sketched with shaded streaks and knots, so it makes a nice contrast with the busy patterns. This free printable suits older kids, teens and adults who like fine detail. Try sharp colored pencils or fine liners, and give each pattern band on the arm its own shade. Leave the trunk in soft browns and grays so the koala stands out.
