The warm spring day came and the ice in the pond melted. The mother frog woke up after a winter's sleep. She crawled out of her mud hole, jumped into the pond and laid many black, round eggs on the water plants.

The spring breeze blew gently, the sun shone, and the water in the pond became warmer and warmer. The eggs laid by the mother frog slowly all moved and turned into a group of tadpoles with big heads and long tails, who swam around in the water and were very happy.

The tadpoles swam and swam, and after a few days, grew two back legs. After a few more days, grew two front legs. After a few more days again, the tails became shorter and eventually disappeared, and the tadpoles finally became little frogs!

When a tadpole is born, it has to swim by waving its long tail. As it grows up and grows four legs, it can use its legs to swim in the water, and at this time, the tail is of little use.

So how did its tail disappear? It turns out that in the cells of the tadpole, there is something called lysosomes, which will slowly dissolve the cells in the tail, so that the tadpole will eventually have no tail.

In this drawing tutorial today, let's learn how to draw a tadpole in the water. It's very simple and anyone can do it easily. You just need to draw an oval first and add a tail, eye and a smile, so give it a try.
