Step 1 – Outline the Frog’s Body

Start with a simple oval shape for the frog’s body. This basic outline will help you get the proportions correct.

Step 2 – Draw the Head

Add a round shape on top of the oval to form the frog’s head. Connect it smoothly to the body outline.

Step 3 – Sketch the Eyes

Draw two big round eyes on top of the head. Add smaller circles inside for pupils. For a cartoon frog, make the eyes larger with highlights.

Step 4 – Add the Legs

Draw the hind legs bent like a “Z” shape, and sketch thinner front legs. Strong legs make your frog look ready to jump.

Step 5 – Draw the Feet and Toes

Frogs have long toes with round pads at the tips. Add three or four toes on each foot for a realistic effect.

Step 6 – Add the Mouth and Nose

Sketch a curved line for the mouth and two small dots above it for the nostrils. For a cartoon frog, make the mouth wide and smiling.

Step 7 – Refine Details

Erase extra sketch lines and smooth the outline. Add shading, spots, or textures to make your frog more lifelike.

Step 8 – Add Color

Color your frog green, yellow, or brown. Use darker shades on the back and lighter tones on the belly for depth. Cartoon frogs can be any fun color.
