Step-by-Step Drawing Guide

Step 1: Draw the Face, Eyes, and Big Smile

Start with a rounded outline for Kermit the Frog’s head. Then add two raised round eyes on top, and draw a wide curved smile with an open mouth in the center.

Pro Tip: Keep both eyes close in size so the expression looks cute and balanced.

Step 2: Add the Pointed Collar

Draw a zigzag collar underneath the head. Use a row of pointed shapes that stretch downward to give Kermit the Frog his recognizable neck detail.

Pro Tip: Make the center points slightly longer so the collar looks more natural.

Step 3: Draw Both Arms and Hands

Add Kermit the Frog’s arms extending down from both sides of the collar. The left arm bends across the front, while the right arm lifts upward with simple curved fingers.

Pro Tip: Start with long curved arm lines first, then add the fingers slowly.

Step 4: Draw the Body and One Leg

Continue the outline downward from the collar to form Kermit the Frog’s body. Then add one long curved leg, finishing it with a flat foot and simple toes.

Pro Tip: Keep the body lines soft so the leg connects naturally to the body.

Step 5: Add the Other Leg and Foot

Draw the second leg downward from the other side of Kermit the Frog’s body. Let the foot stretch outward, then add a few short toe lines at the end.

Pro Tip: The two feet do not need to match exactly, but keep the pose looking steady.

Step 6: Add the Banjo

Draw a round banjo body in front of Kermit the Frog’s torso, then add a long neck across his arms. Add small tuning pegs on the headstock to make the instrument look complete.

Pro Tip: Let the neck pass through the right hand so it looks truly held.
