I everybody! I’m here with some new sketchbook pages. We have a lovely little pond in our garden and every spring loads of frogs are showing up! I can’t wait that the nights become warmer – then they will give us some lovely concerts. Today I’m sharing some fun and childish frog drawings from my Kangaro Sketchbook.
The paper is very similar to the Talens book, but not 100% the same. I used markers, coloured pencils, brush pens, gouache sticks and Neocolors. I am very much inspired for these drawings by a fun class I took from Lewis Rossignol – “Draw like a Child”.
I started with some quick ones as kind of a warm up…

next I tried some more “right” frogs – but recognized, that it was not a lot of fun.



So I decided to become more playful and don’t worry too much about any proportions…


I was so happy with these two, that I made another drawing afterwards…


I put together a little reference pdf on Canva – I have a paid subscription and there are loads of frog images available. I did this already with a bunch of subjects in the past. I made a pdf in Canva and then download that to my tablet, so I can flip through it. Even if you don’t have a paid Canva subscription, you can find reference images that are completely for free. So give it a go!
I hope you like the frogs!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
