How to Draw a Waxy Monkey Tree Frog

Video Transcript

"Hey, welcome to my studio everybody. I'm Lars-Eric Robinson. My company is Lars Art All Around Artainment. I been illustrator and I've been in this business for about 15 years. Graduated from Ringling School of Art and Design in Sarasota. And today, I thought I'd talk about how we draw a waxy tree frog. I have a reference here as to how to do it. But basically it's two eyes. And you draw the slits going down because waxy tree frogs have these long alien looking eyes. And after you do those two C's, you carry this. You get the mouth. And it basically looks like a V shaped top of the mouth. Have fun with art right? I think it's funny the way these people look. They have. So the eyes they basically like, this looks like a G right here. That looks like a G and that's the eye lid. So you carry it over like that. This might look like an A but without that little slit on the side there. And here's his sides. And his mouth has a little opening with his two noses right here. And here's his two bulging belly, got a big belly here. Here's his little fingers. The got those little suck cups on the end of their hands here. And create a little bit of texture on it. Even add a little shadow to help emphasis your drawing. So you noticed, he's round. I'm trying to create the roundness. Take the chalk underneath. Maybe they had some, sometimes they have little round spots on them. And he's sitting on the pond. He's sitting a little lilly pad here. Art's so fun. You can just create whatever environment you want. It's that great? Well thank you guys so much for joining me. I hope you have a wonderful day."
