How to Draw a Spring Peeper
Draw a spring peeper in 12 easy steps, about 9 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
Draw one big smooth egg on its side, tipped up, with the snout high on the left.
Step 2: The big eye
Draw one big circle eye on top of the head, poking up above the head line. Add a black dot.
Step 3: Smile and nostril
Start at the snout tip. Draw a smile back under the eye, turning up at the end. Add a nostril.
Step 4: Puffed throat
Start under the snout. Draw a big round balloon under the chin and stop on the chest.
Step 5: The big thigh
On the back of the body draw a big egg lying sideways for the thigh, poking out behind and below.
Step 6: Long back foot
From under the thigh draw a long flat foot pointing forward. End it in 3 toes with round pads.
Step 7: The front leg
Start on the chest behind the throat. Draw a chunky front leg bending down to 3 toes with round pads.
Step 8: The twig
Under the feet draw a long thin twig with round ends, wider than the frog.
Step 9: The back X
On the back, between the eye and the thigh, draw a fat X like 2 crossed sticks.
Step 10: Tan frog
Go over your lines. Colour the head, body and legs tan, around the X. Leave the eye white.
Step 11: Cream throat, brown X
Colour the puffed throat cream. Colour the X on the back brown.
Step 12: Brown twig
Colour the twig brown around the feet. Your spring peeper is done!
