How to Draw a Frog
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: wide flat head.
Step 1: Wide flat head
Start at the left cheek near the top. Draw a wide flat-topped head over to the right cheek, and back.
Tip Wider than tall. Leave room above it for the eyes.
Step 2: Eyes on top
Draw 2 big circles on the top corners of the head, half on and half off, with a black dot.
Tip Frog eyes sit right on top, like 2 headlights.
Step 3: Smile and nostrils
Draw a big smile from under the left eye to under the right eye. Dot 2 nostrils above it.
Step 4: Squat tummy
Start under the left cheek. Draw a fat tummy down, round a flat bottom, and stop under the right cheek.
Tip The tummy is wider than tall, and narrower than the head.
Step 5: Belly patch
Inside the tummy draw one big oval belly patch, a finger in from the tummy line all round.
Step 6: Arms and hands
Start under each cheek. Draw an arm bent at the elbow, down to 3 round fingers, back to the chin.
Step 7: Folded knees
Start halfway down each arm. Draw a fat bean knee out to the side, and stop on the hand.
Tip All you see of a sitting frog's leg is the big bent knee.
Step 8: Big webbed feet
Start at the bottom of each bean. Draw a flat paddle foot with 3 round toes, stopping on the bean.
Step 9: Lily pad
Start outside the left knee. Draw a big smile under the frog, ending at the right knee. Add a notch.
Step 10: Knee spots
Draw 2 round spots on each knee, a big one and a little one.
Step 11: Light green frog
Colour the belly patch cream. Colour the frog light green around it and the knee spots. Leave the eyes white.
Step 12: Dark green pad
Go over your lines. Colour the lily pad and the knee spots darker green, around the frog.

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: a frog, drawn by you.
