How to Draw a Bullfrog
Draw a bullfrog in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: head and body.
Step 1: Head and body
Across the middle of your paper, draw one big fat loaf lying on its side for the head and body.
Step 2: The big eye
Draw one big eye on top of the head, mostly above the head line, with a black pupil and shine.
Tip Frog eyes sit on top of the head like headlights.
Step 3: Wide smile and nostril
From the snout tip, draw a wide smile back under the eye, turning up at the end. Dot a nostril.
Step 4: The eardrum
Behind the eye, a little lower, draw a round eardrum circle on the head, nearly as big as the eye.
Tip Like a coin stuck on its head.
Step 5: The big thigh
On the back of the body, draw a big egg thigh on its side, fat end poking out behind.
Step 6: Shin and webbed foot
From the back of the thigh, draw a shin to the ground, then a flat foot forward with 3 toes.
Tip The leg folds like a Z: thigh back, shin down, foot forward.
Step 7: The front leg
Under the eardrum, draw a front leg down from the tummy, bent back at the elbow, to a 3-toed hand.
Tip Like a fat carrot: wide at the body, narrow at the wrist.
Step 8: The bank
Draw one long straight line under the feet, from the left of the paper to the right, for the bank.
Step 9: Tummy line and spots
Draw a tummy line from the smile to the thigh. Add 4 spots along the back, away from the eardrum.
Step 10: Cream tummy, light spots
Colour the tummy band under the smile cream. Then colour the eardrum and spots light leaf green.
Step 11: Colour it green
Go over your lines, then colour the frog green around the tummy, eardrum and spots. Leave the eye white.
Your finished drawing
Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a bullfrog, drawn by you.
