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 off of the frog for a cartoon look.

Things You'll Need

  • paper
  • pencil, pen or marker
  • color of some kind; colored pencils, markers, paint
