Two animals share one outline on this sheet, and the drawing keeps the sizes honest. The mother sits in profile on a long branch that runs down the page from right to left. Her back makes one tall unbroken curve on the far side, and her joey is tucked in at the front, against her chest and just under her chin.
The small one is drawn roughly a third her size. It has its own pair of ears, its own eye with a highlight and its own rounded muzzle, all scaled down but drawn at the same line weight. The mother's arm comes around the outside of it, and her paw shows below with the claws visible.
Her face carries one eye, a long oval muzzle and a mouth line. Both bodies are left open, so the sheet is mostly two large plain fields that meet along the arm.
Color is what separates them. Keep the mother a cool mid gray, take the joey a shade or two lighter, and the pair stays readable instead of merging into one mass. Real joeys ride at the chest like this before they ever move around to the back.
