Frog Drawings

Take a leap into nature's wonderland and look at these frog drawings. The only way for you to know if you can draw is to try copying a simple image like this...

This quick and easy frog oultine is for you to test your skills.

It's ok for us to say we can't draw but is that right? Do we try hard enough?

While you are here, you might also like to try doing some drawings of frogs because you will find it is a simple project.

If you are anything like me, creating a frog drawing on paper is about as close as I would like to get to frogs!

They are not exactly my favorite animals.

However, I do have sisters on farms and they like them to be around. I just hope I don't encounter any frogs when I visit their homes!

Learn About Frogs

Frogs are amphibians which means they can live on land and in water.

Frogs are found all over the world except in frozen land like antarctica.

There are three stages to a frog's life:

•   egg
•   tadpole
•   adult frog

The tadpole drawing (on the right) was a bit boring on its own so I put him in some water.

In hindsight, I notice the tadpole is too big and doesn't fit in with the perspective of the drawing. Live and learn, eh?

Anyway, I digress, back to learning about our drawing topic for the day...

Female frogs lay several hundred eggs at once, usually in water.

A frog's life span is approximately six to eight years. They benefit humans by eating insects.

However, we are the frog's enemy because we destroy their breeding grounds and their habitat. Not intentionally of course, but we call it progress.

Insects are caught by the frog's long sticky tongue which is attached to the front of its mouth.

This tongue flick takes a fraction of a second. And that means any insects taking a leisurely flight in front of a frog aren't around for long!

The majority of frogs are brown and green but there are different varieties that have patterns and other colors on them.

If you love color drawings, it will only take a little research to find some interesting looking and not so common frogs.

Frogs Are Easy To Draw!

This is a simple tree frog.

They are small frogs and don't normally grow past two inches long at the most.

These frog drawings were done with a 2B pencil (my favorite) and a mechanical pencil with B lead.

A mechanical pencil is good because it doesn't get blunt. Naturally, they are fragile because of the thin lead so that stops you if you have a tendency to press too hard on your pencil.

You just click the end of the pencil to make the lead go to the required length that you need for your drawing.

Have fun copying and coloring any frog drawing here.
