Frogs are cute and unique creatures, and if you find them appealing, you will likely appreciate this lesson on how to draw a frog face.

How to Draw a Frog Face: Introduction

In one of the previous lessons, we learned how to draw a frog. In that lesson, we drew the entire frog. Today, we will focus on more specific details and learn how to draw a frog face.

To learn how to draw a frog’s face, there are a few key points to keep in mind. Pay attention to the most noticeable features of the frog’s head, such as its wide face, large eyes positioned on top of the head, and its distinct mouth.

To create an accurate drawing of a frog’s face, it is important to include all these features. Additionally, coloring the head with appropriate shades will help make the drawing look realistic. In this lesson, I will guide you through these steps.

Finally, at the end of the lesson, we will review the techniques covered and practice them further with the help of an additional simplified lesson on drawing a frog’s head.

How to Draw a Frog Face

Sketch the outline of the head.
Start by sketching an oval shape to create the main outline of the frog’s head. Make the oval slightly wider at the bottom to give it the characteristic shape of a frog’s face. Keep the lines of the frog face light, as you may need to adjust them later when adding more details.
Draw the frog eyes.
Draw two large circles on the top of the frog head to represent the eyes. These circles should overlap slightly with the head outline. Frogs have prominent eyes, so make the eyes large and circular to illustrate the correct look of a frog face.
Draw the frog eye ridges.
To give the frog’s eyes more definition, draw curved shapes around each eye to form the eye ridges. These ridges sit just above the eyes and connect smoothly with the head outline. To draw these shapes, sketch a semicircular line around the top of each eye and blend it into the head’s outline.
Draw the frog mouth.
Sketch a long, curved line below the eyes to form the top edge of the frog’s mouth. The line should stretch across the width of the head, curving upward slightly at both ends to create a gentle smile. Next, draw the bottom line, or lower the lower lip, using a second, more curved line below.
Add the tongue outline.
Inside the mouth, draw a smaller curved line toward the bottom to outline the tongue. This addition helps give the frog face drawing more detail. The tongue should be positioned exactly in the center and have a greater curve than the outlines of the mouth.
Draw the nostrils.
Above the mouth, add two small oval shapes for the frog’s nostrils. Place them close together in the center of the face. Frogs have small and subtle nostrils, so keep these ovals simple and evenly sized. Lightly mark their positions before finalizing.
Finalize the sketch.
Review your simple frog head drawing and erase any unnecessary guidelines. Double-check the symmetry of the head, eyes, mouth, and other features of your sketch. This step is about polishing the drawing to make it look complete and ready for coloring.
Color the frog face.
Use shades of green for the head and dark tones for the eyes, leaving small white highlights for a glossy effect. Color the tongue pink or lighter green. Next, paint the inside of the mouth and nostrils a darker green. You can also make your drawing of a frog’s head more voluminous using shadows.

Let’s now try a new way to draw a frog head. The key difference between this tutorial and the first one lies in its simplicity and fewer steps. This version uses basic shapes and avoids additional details like nostrils and tongue, focusing on a simple, beginner-friendly approach to drawing a frog face.

To draw a frog face in this easy way, start by sketching an oval for the head. Ensure the shape is slightly wider than tall to resemble the frog’s face proportions. Next, add two large overlapping circles at the top of the oval to represent the eyes. Draw smaller circles inside these larger ones to indicate the pupils.

Below the eyes, add a long, curved line to form the frog’s mouth. Erase unnecessary guidelines and finalize the drawing by cleaning up all lines for a neat outline. Complete the drawing by coloring the head in green and the pupils in black, leaving small white areas for highlights to make the eyes look shiny.
