Drawing Quick and Easy
Cartoon Frogs
Cartoon frogs are easy to draw. All you'll need is a pencil and this four
step set of instructions. Cartoon animals don't have to be perfect and
can be a lot of fun, especially for beginners, so let's start on the frog
now.
Step One: The Body
The body is the base of your frog drawing. It is also the easiest part to
draw. Get ready - you may have difficulty following the instruction!
Here it is: draw an oval. That's it. That's the entire body of the frog and
the only instructions for step one. Are you gaining confidence yet?


Step Two: The Legs
While not as simple as the body, the legs of this cartoon critter are
easy-to-draw as well. We're going to reference two points on your oval
to draw the legs: the right center point on the oval and the left center
point on the oval. Just above these points, you are going to draw what
looks like an "A" frame of a house.
Now, here's the kicker - it has to be at an angle, maybe about 30
degrees, and the side not touching the oval needs to come down even
with the bottom of the oval. Those are the back legs.
For the front legs, you are going to draw two "L" shapes, starting just
below the center of the sides of the oval. The one on the right will be
backward, and the "long" part of the L will almost touch the outsides of
the "A" you drew. Then, the bottom of the L will be long, and should
point in towards the center.

Step Three: The Cartoon Frog's Front and Back Feet
To make the front feet, you need to draw another "L" shape inside each
of the existing ones at the same angle, then connect the two at the

bottom with three pointy toes (think of this as a "W" attached to a "V"
to help you out here).
For the back legs, draw a line right through the center of the "A" from
step three, starting from the frong leg and moving up about ¾ of the
way. This gives cartoon frogs long legs and bendy knees. Your feet are
going to look like knife blades, sticking out to the left and right at the
bottom of the back leg. It might sound complicated, but if you look
closely at the drawing I think you'll find that it's not hard at all.

Step Four: The Face
Okay, if you thought the body for cartoon frogs was easy, wait till you
hear about the face! Are you ready? Right across the vertical center of
the oval, you're going to draw two very small circles, far apart so that
they are closer to the sides of the oval than each other. You can offset
them a bit to make your cartoon frog's eyes look a little goofy. Below
that, draw a crooked arc almost all the way across the oval, curving up
in a lazy smile.
That's all there is to drawing cartoon frogs. It couldn't get any easier.
