Draw Kermit the Frog

While Kermit may have claimed that "it's not easy being green", drawing the iconic green Kermit performed and created by the famous puppeteer Jim Henson isn't that hard to do. This simple tutorial of how to draw Kermit the Frog will walk you through each step to creating Kermit's entire look.

Steps

1. Use erasable pencil for the first several steps.
2. Begin by drawing a diamond shape to represent Kermit's head. Draw in the guidelines as well, both vertical and horizontal lines.
3. Draw Kermit's body. Start by drawing a large oval shape and sketching a vertical guideline.
4. Draw Kermit's arms. Sketch long rectangular shapes in the shape of the letter “V” for his right arm and an angled rectangle for his left arm.
5. Draw Kermit's legs. Sketch long rectangular shapes in shape of the letter “L”, connecting them to his oval shaped body. These will be the limbs.
6. Draw Kermit's hands and feet. He usually has long and thin hands and four pointy Toe Weave.
7. Draw the details of Kermit's face and his collar.
   • Create his eyes by drawing two half circles and then a circle in the middle of a tubular shape.
   • For his collar, draw bold zigzag lines.
8. Do a little bit of cleaning on your drawing by erasing some of the inside lines to remove joins that shouldn't be there. Then, connect any remaining drawn shapes to allow Kermit’s body and form to emerge.
9. Add some lines on his neck, fingers for his hands and a grin to his face to complete your drawing.
10. Outline your drawing. Outline by using a black pen or by sketching thick lines. Erase any outstanding lines not already tidied out of the picture.
11. Color Kermit green! Use different shades of green for his body and different shades of red for his mouth. You may wish to experiment a little with the green shading to find a perfect color. You should experiment with light and dark shading to make Kermit look more 3D (three dimensional).
    • Be sure to use a lighter green for the collar.

Warnings

• Do not press pencil heavily when drawing the basic frame, or else it will not erase easily and will leave marks when colouring over with a pencil crayon
