Learn to draw a basic frog, or even a cartoon-style frog, as explained in the second method.
Steps
Method 1 of 2: Generic Method
Step 1. Start by drawing an elongated shape, with the left side pointed
Then add two small circles in the upper right part.
Step 2. Now draw the front and back legs, then draw an irregular line for the nostrils and mouth
Step 3. Add details like eyes, mouth with cheek line and belly
Step 4. Finally make circles to simulate the spotted skin of the frog
Step 5. Go over the outline of your drawing with a black pen or marker, then erase the pencil lines with an eraser
Step 6. Color and it's done
Use colors like dark green, green-yellow and beige or white.
Method 2 of 2: Cartoonistic Method
Step 1. Draw two circles approximately 2.5cm in diameter and approximately 4cm apart
Step 2. Draw a straight, horizontal line in each eye
Step 3. Draw a semicircle in each eye to make the pupils
Step 4. Draw a line from the top of the left eye to the right eye
Step 5. Make a curved line from the left of the left eye to the right of the right eye passing under the eyes
Step 6. Now make another curved line that goes further down than the first, thus forming the lower jaw
Step 7. Make two dots between the eyes for the nostrils
Step 8. Draw 3 vertical lines from the chin, approximately 7.5 cm long
These will be the front legs.
Step 9. Draw a line that looks like half of a heart from the chin to the tip of the paws
Repeat on the other side. These will be the hind legs.
Step 10. Draw 6 straight lines that fan out from the leg lines
Step 11. Connect these lines with small bows, to make the webbed legs of your frog
Step 12. Add any details you want to personalize your frog
You are now done. Good job!
Advice
- Experiment with pupils of different shapes and positions.
- An inexpensive, non-smudge-free alternative to the specific pencil for sketching is a light colored pencil.
- Make the mouth red and the pupils black, the rest of the body green; for an even more cartoonish look, draw eyebrows hanging over the frog's head.
