What a cute painting of the koala. Facial features are wonderful. Well drawn and painted. Colors compliment each other well. Really enjoyed it.

A very nice soft koala in pastels. You have left the background muted to give full attention to the animal. You have the eye just right because that is the look they give you. They have a couldn't care less attitude. Well done

What a sweet little bear. This is so cute. I love the textures on this painting, it is very good work with pastels.
I like the darker green background. The little face is so well done. Nice lighting in the eyes. Nice fur looks nice and soft to touch.

It's good to see these little fellas been put on paper for prosperity, their habitat is diminishing, you have done a wonderful job suzanne, the fluffiness of his ears and chest, his shiny black nose, and the sad look in his eyes have all been captured perfectly, cheers andbon

Comment from Dazzleme
This is a wonderful artwork you have chosen to complete and the detail is good for this. Nicely done with the use of the soft pastels as I find this gives the subject a really nice effect upon completion.

Comment from Rockdoc
he is just so cute and cuddly and love your rendition of the Koala. My wife and I got to hold some when we visited down under. Nice textures on the fur coat and expression on the face. Nice work Suzanne.

Very good pastel. Kind of has that familar look about it-I'm sure I know someone who looks like this!
The eyes are well done, not sure about the koala's nose though.

Comment from Cephus
Cute, good detail, good composition and an excellent job of capturing the koala in what I assume are pastels.
Don't know why, but he appears somewhat sad and the blue reinforces the feeling.
