The frog princess differs from all other inhabitants of the swamp kingdom in that she has a crown on her head, and in her paws she holds an arrow. So you can turn the most ordinary frog into a princess. To draw an illustration for a wonderful folk tale about how Ivan Tsarevich was looking for a bride for himself, you need little - a sheet of paper, a simple pencil and a set of colored pencils.
What does a frog look like?
It is most convenient to draw a frog in profile. Of course, before starting work, it is better to consider a picture, a toy, or even a living frog. When your future princess sits sideways to you, her body resembles a rectangle placed on one of the corners and tilted to the ground, and her hind leg bent at the knee joint fits perfectly into the oval.
Place the sheet as you like. The frog princess, of course, lives in a swamp, but in fairy tales even the simplest objects become unusual, so you can surround the figurine with outlandish herbs and wonderful flowers, but this is better done later.
Draw two lines parallel to the bottom and left sides of the paper. They are needed to make it easier to navigate. Departing from the point of intersection about five centimeters up the vertical line, put a point.
You can start drawing the body of the frog along with the head from the trapezoid. The longer base is the top line of the frog's head.
Drawing starts with geometry
The step-by-step method, when parts of an object are built on the basis of geometric shapes, is quite simple and accessible even to a ten-year-old child. From the point on the vertical line, start drawing a rectangle. Its sides should be located at an acute angle to the existing lines. Draw a long oval between the auxiliary horizontal lines. You now have the base for the torso along with the head and back leg.
An oval, like a rectangle, starts from a vertical line to which the frog will turn its back. The opposite part of the long axis of the oval is under the upper right corner of the rectangle, or even a little further.
Rectangles and ovals turn into a frog
Carefully connect the lower left corner of the rectangle and the end of the long axis of the oval with a smooth line. Round the top corners of the rectangle. In the middle of the oval, draw an arc parallel to the top. Draw a large, flat paw under the oval.
Draw the details
On the frog's head, closer to the back of the head, draw a semicircle, and in it - an eye. Draw an arc of slight curvature from the upper right corner - the mouth. Draw a hand for the frog. It can consist, for example, of two long ovals located approximately at right angles to each other. The hand ends with a brush. She can be clenched into a fist if your princess is holding an arrow.
Arrow, crown and the rest
Draw the details that distinguish the frog princess from other frogs. Draw a crown on the head. From the side, it looks like a horizontal strip with teeth. The teeth can be decorated with small balls. The arrow is a thin, straight stick with a pointed triangle at one end and feathers at the other, which are most easily depicted as two long rectangles with beveled short sides. Draw the leaf on which the frog sits, as well as various other plants.
