Rare Breed  best koala drawing Rare Breed drawing on acid-free paper. This portrait of a Koala was created using graphite pencils on acid free archival paper with fixative coating to prevent smudging. I source high-resolution photos for my reference material and use various techniques with pencils and erasers to achieve character-driven portraits. Our friend Annette supplied the photo reference so a special thank you to Annette! I am not exaggerating; this truly is the best Koala drawing you will ever see! Over 40 hours of work went into this drawing, it is framed and ready to hang.Imagine this stunning investment artwork taking pride of place in your space. Certainly a talking point with friends & family. This best koala drawing is rendered with the same level of care and accuracy as our archival-quality Pet Portraits. Each artwork is a beautifully hand-drawn reproduction of your beloved pets. Working from high-resolution photos, we strive to tease out the true character of pets for you to treasure forever! All Pet Portraits are drawn on 200gms acid-free, non-yellowing artist paper, then sealed with fixative. The protective layers of fixative render all drawings smudge-free. Usually, I start my drafting lines with a 2B pencil and get some shadow areas in before going to deeper tones. My deepest tones using graphite pencil are rendered in 6B with mechanical pencils but with standard pencils, I can go up to 8B. Part of the process when rendering in the realistic genre is to use paper stumps for blending or smudging. Other tools are erasers and pencil filings collected from sharpeners. Erasers come in soft or hard plus mechanical. I prefer to work with mechanical pencils and erasers purely because they are convenient, less messy, and no sharpening required. Realism as a genre is defined by being a realistic or accurate representation of the visual world around us.
