How to Draw a Koala Step by Step – Cute Animal Drawing for Kids
Feb 10, 2026
Watch a cuddly koala take shape on your page as kids follow simple drawing steps that turn circles and curves into a cute animal.
Step 1: Let’s start with the koala’s head. Draw a small slanting M for its fluffy fur.
Step 2: From one end of ‘m’, draw a curved line downwards for the head.
Step 3: From the other side of ‘m’, create one big curve.
Step 4: Add an extra ‘m’ to each side to show the fluffy texture.
Step 5: Draw a half-moon-like shape to complete the head.
Step 6: Include two half circles over the head to represent the ears.
Step 7: Draw its inner ear with two medium half-circles.
Step 8: Add eyebrows with tiny dashes. Then draw its nose and mouth with a rounded triangle and a ‘w’ shape. Connect both with a tiny straight line. Darken the nose, leaving a tiny space free.
Step 9: Draw its hands and fingers. Below the head, create a big, curved line, followed by tiny ‘U’s and a straight line that goes upwards.
Step 10: Draw its body and right leg with a curve followed by imperfect, slanting C.
Step 11: Include its feet using a rounded triangle and draw a tiny, curved line to complete the leg.
Step 12: Add the other hand too. (Refer to step 9.)
Step 13: Draw a small curve that looks like a half-moon under the head to differentiate its body.
Step 14: Draw the left leg too. From the left hand, create a slanting half circle that goes upward as a ‘U’, then comes a tiny curve.
Step 15: Add details on the foot and fingers. At the foot, create a small, rounded triangle in the centre, surrounded by three smaller, rounded triangles on the upper side. To show fingers, include tiny parallel lines on each hand.
Step 16: Draw two medium circles for the eyes.
Step 17: Add small ovals at the eye corners for its eyeballs. Then darken them with a tiny circle left uncolored.
Step 18: An adorable koala drawing is done.
