Frogs are amphibians, closely related and often confused with todes due to some similarities between the two.
Frogs are known for their impressive jumping skills and ability to blend with thair surroundings.
They start their life as an egg, then hatch in to a tadpole before ending as an adult frog.
As a defence mechanism, frogs secret toxic secretions that can be harmful to humans and other predators. Frogs themselves also preys on other small incects using their sticky tongue which can extend and retract quickly.

Like other amphibians, frogs have moised skins, and are able to breath through their skin and lungs. They are cold-blooded, egg laying amphibians that undergo metamorphosis.

Froges inhabit a wide range of habitats like ponds, lakes, slow running streams and revers, wetlands, marshes and forests. Frogs can be found almost everywhere.

Frog in the Pot

Some species of Frogs and frog legs are concidered a delicacy in many parts of the world. But try not to put any frog you see in the pot because some froges are very poisonous. ( eg. Poison dart frog) some frogs can deliver a deadly venom through bites and spines (Hylidae tree frogs, Cohen's frogs)

The Procedure

Step 1 [Preparing the Canvas]

I got my drawing paper cut and ready as shown in the picture above.

I started the drawing with my username on the plain paper, followed by two large frog eyes and its head.

Step 2

Next came its mouth running across its face, and forelegs with finger-like digits.

Step 3

Now I have added its belly and hind legs, making it look more like a frog.

Step 4 [Shading ]

Addind some pencil shading and using diffrent shades of green to show light and shadows.

Step 5 [Finishing]
