How to Draw a Cartoon Frog
(the Easy Way)


Hop on in, the water's fine! Learning how to draw a cartoon frog is as
easy as sitting on a lily pad once you've followed these simple steps.
So, let's jump to it and get started on another awesome illustration that
will make your friends and family green with envy!

STEP-1: Fabulous Frog Basics the Basics
The first part in how to draw a cartoon frog prince is really simple –
just draw a heart shape as in our illustration. It may not look like much,
but this will give us a good basis for the rest of our amphibian artistry!



STEP-2: Adding Some Frog Features
Now we've got the basic shape, let's start adding some features to our
cartoon frog to bring him to life. First of all, draw two small circles for
the eyes, followed by a large mouth just below. Frogs need a big mouth
for catching all those flies, so make this stretch almost from one side of
the head to the other. For the next step in how to draw a cartoon frog,
draw a curved line on the body – this will eventually form our cartoon
frog's chest. Finally in this stage, draw two curved lines as in our
illustration which will eventually become our riverside royal's arms.

STEP-3: Putting More Features on Our Frog Prince
In the famous fairy tale, The Frog Prince, the frog turns into a
handsome prince once kissed by a beautiful princess. However, our
cartoon frog isn't ready to turn into a human just yet – he's happy
wearing the crown for now! Let's start drawing this by sketching in two

vertical lines above the head.
Then, draw two nostrils just beneath the eyes and another line in the
middle of the mouth. Anyone who's seen Kermit The Frog on the
Muppets will know that frogs just love to talk and with a mouth this
big, who can blame them? Now, let's finish off the arms we drew
earlier, remembering to make them quite small.


STEP-4: The Crowning Glory – Adding More Detail to Our
Cartoon Frog
For our next step in learning how to draw a cartoon frog, it's time to
crown our frog prince. Draw three upside-down 'V' shapes with a
couple of smaller shapes behind to complete his royal headwear –
awesome!Next, begin drawing those powerful back legs by sketching
in a series of curved lines just beneath the arms as in our illustration.


STEP-5: These Feet Were Made For Jumpin'!
Isn't it fun learning how to draw a cartoon frog? Our cartoon frog
prince is looking ready to take his rightful place on the riverbank, but
first, we need to finish off the rear legs and sketch in some wonderful
webbed feet! To do this, draw the shape of a foot for each one,
followed by two curves on each. Our cartoon frog needs these webbed
feet to propel him through the water, but some tree-dwelling frogs also
use these as parachutes to glide through the air!



STEP-6: Coloring in Our Cartoon Frog Prince
Now that our drawing is finished, it's time to complete our amphibian

artwork with a splash of color. And, guess which color we'll be using?
That's right – green! First of all, draw around the outline of the body in
dark green, then rub out any lines you don’t need. Next, take a dark
brown pen and draw the outline of the crown – splendid!
Now, it's time to jump to it and color in the body of our cartoon frog
prince – take a nice bright shade and fill in everywhere apart from the
chest area.
Next, select a lighter shade of green for the chest, then color in the
mouth and nostrils using a medium shade of green. Finally, no prince is
complete without a crown, so color this in using a bright yellow,
followed by a light brown color for the points at the back – notice how
this makes it look really 3D?
You did it! You know how to draw a cartoon frog. Our cartoon frog
prince is now ready to leap from lily pad to riverbank! We hope you
enjoyed taking the plunge and learning how to draw him. Why not try
drawing some lily pads and water? Remember, the more you practice,
the better an artist you'll be! Feel free to jump to our next lesson!
