About This Article
To draw a frog, first draw an elongated shape with a pointy lower left side. Then, add 2 small circles to the upper right side for eye bumps. Next, draw hind legs on the bottom left of your shape and front legs on the bottom middle. Once you're finished with the legs, sketch a bump under the eyes for a nose and mouth. Also, add a pouch for the stomach, as well as a dimpled grin under the mouth and nose. Finally, add some spots on top of your frog to finish it up.
