Artist's notes:
I couldn't decide whether to draw the red kangaroo in
mid-jump or standing still. I found a good photo to work
from and went with this pose. When I draw an animal at times
I'm amazed how unfamiliar the actual anatomy of what I considered
a familiar animal actually is. What really struck me was
the totally bizarre legs of the kangaroo. They're really
not like anything else I've ever drawn. The red kangaroo,
along with the koala, are the only
Australian mammals I've drawn so far. I'll probably draw
an echidna and Tasmanian devil at some point. If you'd like
to make a suggestion on which Aussie critter I should draw
next please send me an
email.
This drawing is based on a photo by Robert Nyman.

Information about the Red Kangaroo:
The Red Kangaroo is the largest of all kangaroos and
the largest living marsupial on Earth. It is found across
mainland Australia. They inhabit most of the dry inland
of the central part of Australia. Even though these animals
look friendly, they are to be approached with caution. They
have a large claw attached to their hind legs and this makes
them potentially dangerous.
