Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch this oval. It only shows where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase it at the end.
Step 2: The mushroom cap
Start with a big dome shape like half a circle. Close the bottom with a gently curved line that sticks out a little past the dome on each side.
Step 3: Sides of the head
Under the cap, draw two curved lines, one on the left and one on the right. Each starts at the bottom edge of the cap and curves down, leaving the bottom open for now.
Step 4: The cap spots
Add three circles on the cap, one bigger one at the top and two smaller ones on either side. Spots can be different sizes.
Step 5: The big eyes
Draw two large circles in the middle of the face, side by side. Make them about the same size.
Step 6: Pupils and smile
Fill in a solid dot in the middle of each eye. Then draw a short, curved smile between and below the eyes.
Step 7: Little cheek loops
Draw a tiny loop at the bottom of each side line, down low near the ends of the smile. They are small ovals with a short tail that hang just below the face.
Step 8: The round body
Under the smile, draw a curved line from one cheek loop to the other for the top of the belly. Then draw the sides curving out and down from each loop, and add a short curved line in the middle for a belly mark.
Step 9: Feet and toes
At the bottom, draw a bumpy line across for the base, with a wavy, bumpy shape on the left and right for the feet. The little bumps are the toes.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.

Tips for drawing a frog in a mushroom hat
- Draw the cap first, then tuck the sides of the head underneath it. The cap should stick out past the face so the frog looks like it is wearing it.
- Make the two eye circles the same size by drawing the first one, then matching it. Tiny size differences are fine and look funny in a good way.
- The feet are the trickiest part, so go slowly. Draw each foot as a row of little bumps, like tiny hills.

Questions about drawing a frog in a mushroom hat
What shapes do I need to draw a frog in a mushroom hat?
You need a half circle for the cap, curved lines for the round head, and a curved shape for the body. Circles make the spots and eyes.
How do I make my frog look cuter?
Make the eyes big and the pupils round and dark. Add a wide smile, and the frog will look happy right away.
How do I draw the mushroom hat so it stays on?
Draw the bottom of the cap as a curved line that sticks out past the head on both sides. The head lines then start right under that edge, so the hat looks like it rests on top.
