The dear little Quokka..They are found only in Western Australia. They live on the Rottnest Island. The Dutch explorers discovered this Island many years ago and thought they were rats hens the name Rottnest which is dutch for ratsnest.
This is drawn on Arches 300 gsm paper and the size is 10 x 8" in graphite.

Hi Dors....another 'cutie'...you do have a talent with those eyes, so sweet.
Thank you so much Amanda. Have a great day. :)
This is beautiful! Is this a marsupial, Doreen? Or is it indeed a rodent? So cute!
Thank you AutumnLeaves. It is a marsupial, in the same family as the Kangaroos. I'll do a search for them and post it on my blog for you.
This is going to be stunning! What beautiful eyes.
looks like a nice start - lovely shining eyes. Not sure I know this kind of animal :)
Hi Dors,
When I see your work it inspires me to try graphite. You work is truly amazing. I love the textures of the fur that you do so well and the expression in his eyes. I can't wait to see this completed. Well done.
