Wallaby (colored pencil art) Hi my friends! Among artists on the Internet there is such a popular entertainment - art challenges. Drawings on a given topic every day. I sometimes try to participate in them, but there is not always enough free time. This May the theme is "rare animals". I don't know, maybe I can draw at least five drawings in a month. Today the first animal - which is called a wallaby/ These are animals that look like kangaroos but are smaller.

I have never seen them in real life, so I looked at the photo https://7factov.ru/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/2a195194-716x477.jpg I decided to start this challenge with simple tools - colored pencils.

Sketch

I start with a medium gray tone, gradually adding dark gray and brown shadows, inside the ears and in the eye sockets.

I detail the muzzle with black color, draw the eyes and nose

Next, I draw the body of the animal. On the belly of the Walabi, the hair is longer than on the back. I show this with the appropriate strokes of the pencils. I try to keep light and shadows...

The upper part of the body, in the region of the chest and neck, is very short and stiff. I paint with short strokes in different directions to create the effect of stiff, tousled hairs.

Well, the final step is the background. With several shades of green, I create the natural environment for the animal Yes, with the first drawing of the challenge, I think I did it!

With Love...
