Koala Climbing Up a Tree Trunk Coloring Page
A koala works its way up a broad tree trunk, one paw planted above the other and its claws dug into the bark.

Upward motion is built into the composition. The trunk fills the left half of the paper from top to bottom, and the koala climbs across it in three quarter view, body angled so the near shoulder leads. One paw reaches high and grips, claws spread against the bark. A second paw holds lower down the body.
The head turns back toward the viewer just enough to show one eye with a pupil and a highlight, a curved brow above it, a rounded muzzle and a small smile. The far side of the face stays hidden by the muzzle, as it does on the other three quarter sheets here.
The trunk is where the time goes. Long parallel lines run its full height, and a hollow knot sits low on it, giving one dark accent in an otherwise open field.
Scale is worth planning before you begin. The animal occupies roughly a third of the page and the bark takes the rest, so a strong tone on the koala needs a quiet trunk behind it. A pale warm gray across the bark keeps the climb readable.
