How to draw a frog - Digital Drawing Ideas

Ever looked at a blank page and thought, “Where do I even begin with drawing a frog?” If you’ve been searching for a fun and easy way to learn how to draw a frog, you’re in the right place—and trust me, you don’t need to be a professional artist to create something totally adorable.

I’ve always loved drawing animals, but frogs? They hold a special place in my sketchbook. I remember doodling frogs in the margins of my school notebooks, fascinated by how such a simple shape could turn into something full of personality with just a few lines. And let’s be real—who can resist a frog with rosy cheeks and a cheeky smile?

In this post, I’ll guide you through a super beginner-friendly tutorial for a cute frog drawing that’s perfect for kids, hobbyists, and anyone who just wants to unwind with some creative time. Plus, I’ve illustrated each step myself, so you’ll be learning directly from my own drawing process. ❤️

Step 1: Draw the Head Shape

Let’s start by drawing the outline of the frog’s head and chubby cheeks!

Sketch a wide curved shape with two bumps at the top for the eyes.

The sides should curve down and outward like a big smile. This will be the cute base for your frog’s face!

Step 2: Add the Eyes and a Smile

Now let’s bring your frog to life! Inside each top bump, draw a small oval for the eyes.

Then, right between them, draw a simple curved line to make a happy little smile.

Your frog already looks super cheerful!

Step 3: Draw Cheeks and Front Legs

Time to add some extra cuteness! Draw two small circles under the eyes for the frog’s rosy cheeks.

Then, sketch two front legs coming down from the head. Use straight lines with small wavy toes at the bottom to make them look like frog feet. So cute already!

Step 4: Add the Frog’s Body

Now let’s complete the body! Draw a curved line that goes from one side of the head, loops down below the feet, and connects to the other side.

This creates the round, squishy body of the frog. It’s really starting to come together!

Step 5: Draw the Back Legs

Let’s give your frog some cute little back legs!

On each side of the body, draw a curved shape that loops outward and ends in wiggly toes.

These legs make your frog look like it’s ready to hop into fun!

Step 6: Add a Cute Flower

Let’s give your frog a little friend! Draw a simple flower next to the frog by sketching a circle for the center, five rounded petals around it, and two small leaves on the stem.

This adds a sweet, playful touch to your drawing!

Step 7: Add Colors!

Time to bring your drawing to life with color! Use a cheerful green for the frog’s body, black for the eyes, and bright pink for the cheeks.

Color the flower with a pretty pink and add green for the leaves and yellow in the center.

Now your cute frog is complete—great job!
