[edit] Tips

  • A cheap, non-smudging sketching technique would be to use a light pencil crayon rather than a specialized pencil.
  • Experiment with different pupil shapes and placements.
  • Color the mouth red and pupils black, and the rest green, and add eyebrows extending out from the frog for a cartoon look.


[edit] Things You'll Need

  • Paper
  • Pencil, pen or marker
  • Color of some kind: colored pencils, markers, paint
