How to Draw a Frog on a Rock

Step 1: Head and body

Draw a big bean: a round nose on the left, a humped back, a low rump on the right.

Tip The left end is the head, so keep it fat and round.

Step 2: Two big eyes

On top of the head draw a big circle with a black dot. Peek a second eye behind it.

Tip Frog eyes sit right on top of the head.

Step 3: Smile and nostril

Start at the tip of the nose. Draw a long smile, stopping under the big eye. Dot a nostril.

Step 4: Front leg

Start under the smile. Draw a leg down to 3 round toes, then back up into the body.

Tip The leg bends a little, like an elbow.

Step 5: Folded back leg

On the back half of the body draw a big egg lying down, for the folded leg.

Tip The fat end of the egg sits at the back.

Step 6: Long webbed foot

Start under the egg. Draw a long flat foot forward, with 3 round toes, and back under the egg.

Tip Frog feet are long, longer than the hands.

Step 7: Other front leg

Behind the first front leg draw the other one, peeking out in front with 3 toes.

Step 8: Tummy line

Start at the end of the smile. Draw a curve down to the folded leg, stopping at its knee.

Step 9: Three spots

Draw 2 round spots on the folded leg and 1 on the back, a big one and little ones.

Step 10: Round rock

Start low on the left. Draw a big rock up, flat under the frog, and stop low on the right.

Tip The frog's toes rest on the rock, not in the air.

Step 11: Water

Draw a water line from the left edge, under the rock, to the right edge. Add 2 ripples below.

Step 12: Cream and green

Go over your lines. Colour the chin and tummy cream, the frog light green. Leave the eyes and spots white.

Step 13: Spots and rock

Colour the 3 spots darker green. Colour the rock grey, around the frog's toes.

Step 14: Blue water

Colour the water blue under the line, right down to the bottom of the page. Your frog is done!
