Step 1: Guide shapes
Lightly sketch these 2 ovals. They only show where the big parts go, so press softly. You will erase them at the end.
Step 2: The frog hood
Draw a big round curve for the hood, a little wider than it is tall. Start near the top on one side, curve down around the bottom, and stop near the top on the other side, leaving a gap at the top.
Step 3: The kid's face
Inside the hood, draw a large oval for the face. Leave a thick band of hood showing all the way around it.
Step 4: Big frog eyes
Draw two circles sitting on top of the hood, one on each side, so they cover the gap. Add a short curved line joining them across the top, then put a solid dot in the middle of each circle.
Step 5: Eyes and smile
Inside the face oval, draw two round dots for eyes, side by side. Add a small curved smile between them, like a little bowl.
Step 6: The body
Under the hood, draw a tall box for the body with straight sides and a flat line at the bottom. The sides start just under the hood.
Step 7: The round belly
Draw a wide oval in the middle of the body for the frog tummy. Keep it centered with a little space on each side.
Step 8: Arms and hands
Draw two bendy sleeves hanging down on each side of the body, starting near the shoulders. Finish each one with a small circle at the bottom for a hand.
Step 9: Webbed frog feet
Under the body, draw two short legs going straight down. At the bottom of each, draw a wide flipper shape that points outward, with wavy toes along the bottom edge.
All done!
Erase the guide shapes, go over your lines, then color it in.
