How to Draw a Frog – Let’s get started!
Step 1
On the center of your paper, draw a sideways oval shape with two circles overlapping the oval at the top. This outlines the face of the frog as well as its huge circle eyes. The eyes at the top of the head must have a slight gap in between, as shown in the illustration.
To ensure that the outline will be positioned in the middle correctly, draw a horizontal and a vertical line across the paper to create reference lines. The spot where the two lines meet is where you should draw the frog.
Step 2 – Outline the Frog’s Face and Body
Right underneath the face of the frog, draw another circular shape to outline the body. Bear in mind that the upper portion of the outline of the body must not be visible because the head partly covers the body.
We recommend drawing patterns all over the frog’s body to make it more unique! So, if you’re up for it, you can draw a polka-dot pattern on its skin or any pattern you prefer!
Step 3 – Draw the Frog’s Left Arm
On the left side of the frog’s body, draw two curved lines to structure its left arm. Then, draw a hand with three fingers at the bottom of the arm.
Remember, the fingers of a frog are distinctively long and it has circular tips.
Step 4 – Afterwards, Complete the Frog’s Arms
Repeat the previous step on the right side of the body of the frog.
There you have it—you have successfully drawn both of the frog’s arms. Way to go!
Step 5 – Draw the Frog’s Left Leg
Draw an inverted letter “U” shape to construct the frog’s leg on the left side of its body. The hind legs should appear from the back, as shown in the illustration.
Step 6 – Next, Complete the Frog’s Legs
Repeat the previous step on the opposite side of the frog’s body. Try to keep its legs as aligned and proportion as possible to make your frog drawing appear more realistic.
Step 7 – Then, Outline the Eyes of the Frog
Draw a circle shape within the eye socket that was drawn in the first step. This outlines the actual eye of your frog drawing.
Step 8 – Now, Put a Wide Smile on the Frog’s Face
Now, i’s time to complete the facial features of your frog: start by drawing an upward curved line at the bottom of the frog’s face to add a huge grin on its face.
Then, draw a curved horizontal line on both ends of its mouth. The lines on the both sides of its mouth help emphasize the smile.
Step 9 – Shade the Eyes to Finish the Look
Draw a circle shape inside the outline of the eyes we drew in the seventh step to create the iris. Afterwards, shade the entire iris while leaving out a tiny dot unshaded to create a “gleaming eyes” effect, making the frog look even more adorable!
Here, you can see the frog is nearly finished! The only thing it’s missing is a dash of multiple colors to complete your artwork!
Finally, here is the most exciting part—filling in the colors for your awesome drawing! This is the part where you can show off your artistic skills and your ability to mix and match various colors.
Frogs exist in an amazing array of colors, including vibrant orange, brilliant blue, dazzling red, and more mesmerizing vivid colors.
Some frogs even have distinctive patterns imprinted on their skin, thus they may have more than one color. This gives you a lot of color options to choose from when coloring your frog drawing.
Feel free to color your frog drawing however you like and using any colors you like, and watch as your drawing ultimately comes to life!
And while you’re at it, why not try experimenting with different coloring materials such as watercolor and brush pens as well?
