Very nice. It is a great drawing for your age, and a great example of use of contour lines.

But as you can see some of these people are saying it needs shading and more details. Those are NOT characteristics of a contour drawing. Contour line drawings are clean cut drawings, using clean cut lines. They are consistent with little various in the stroke of the line, and no shading is used.

However I don't know if you were aiming for a contour drawing look. If not then maybe you should experiment with with what the people above said, and try other types of drawing, that use shading and less pronounced lines.

Still it is a good drawing, especially for someone in seventh grade. I myself am in 9th grade

more fur and try shading and you used a regular pencil right....better eyes..try cats they are much easier or birds.....next time try using graphite pencils....email me....and i can give some more tips...

What is it?

Dont listen to the guy above me... I am in the 9th grade and I personally think that you may need some more detail. I think you should try, if possible, to "clean up" the claws and feet. I hope my advise helps!

o.k that's OK for a koala i think you should a do a lot of details the more details the better take your time and dont pressure your self on being perfect on your picture

Not bad, go to my site and see how i shade and what not... i do pen and ink art.. email me from there if you need any help http://snazyink.com/prints_and_originals
