Creating drawings of reptiles and amphibians

Learn how to create drawings of reptiles and amphibians using three fun examples. In this short series, you will learn how to draw a frog, a crocodile and a lizard. Using a similar template, I will show you how to add simple details to come up with recognizable characters quickly and easily. Let's start with the first cartoon animal available on this page ... the frog!

Four easy steps and we have a cute cartoon frog

First, draw the head and the body of the character using long curved lines. Next, draw the eyes using small dots. You can add more small dots inside the pupils to illustrate reflections. The mouth is made from a curved line and a simple patch is drawn on the chest.

On the bottom of the character, draw all four legs using small curved lines. Complete this tutorial with the addition of yellow and green colors inside the cartoon frog.

First, draw the head and the body using the same technique as the one used in the previous lesson. On top of the head of the crocodile, sketch a tiny spike. The eyes and the nose are made from small oval shapes. You can also draw a mouth and short teeth.

All four legs and the tail are created from long curved lines. A large patch on the chest is drawn from more curved lines. Add a variety of green colors inside the cartoon crocodile to complete this basic step-by-step tutorial.
