How to draw a Red-Eyed Tree Frog

Learn how to draw this little Red-Eyed Tree Frog from Costa Rica of your very own.

You will need:
- Pencil
- Pen
- Eraser
- Paper
- Colored pencils or crayons
- Ruler (suggested)


Jeff's Tips & Ideas : Use lightly sketched pencil lines first for the structure. After, use a pen to draw in the final lines. When you're finished, erase the underlying pencil lines to reveal your drawing. Then - color it!

Let's start! Follow step by step our easy indications below !

STEP 1

Begin your frog by shaping its head, symmetrically around a center line.  Makes for a nice little guide to maintain proportion.

STEP 2

Visualize its body and hands with simple shapes.  Either draw this, or think it!  :-)

STEP 3

Position the legs.  Play around until you get a structure you like.

STEP 4

Big circles for eyes.  Later - they'll be red!

STEP 5

Position the head about the circle.  Notice the curve to bring the eyes together at the top.

STEP 6

Simple arcs for arms...

STEP 7

Three-toed 'spoke-like' hands can be brought into view like so...

STEP 8

Circles for toes!

STEP 9

And now the legs - easy to draw I think... fall in behind - obscured by that which lies in front.

STEP 10

A tongue to catch flies!  :-)

STEP 11

And there it is complete...

And finally - a vibrantly colored tree frog... native to Costa Rica.  Hope you had fun with this lesson!
