How to Draw Keroppi: Donut Pond Frog with Bow Tie


Here’s a step by step look at how to draw Keroppi in 10 simple stages. The character is easy to build thanks to the rounded shapes and overall simple design. Keroppi is also known as Kerokerokeroppi, and he’s part of Sanrio’s group of classic characters. The guide keeps the structure light so anyone can complete a Keroppi drawing without much difficulty.

Key Features of Keroppi

  • Head: round and large, making up most of the figure.
  • Eyes: oversized circles that overlap the head outline.
  • Mouth: closed V-shape; sometimes drawn as a U when smiling wide.
  • Cheeks: round pink spots below the eyes.
  • Clothing: a green shirt and a small red bow tie.

Keroppi first appeared in 1987, designed by Tomoe Iwata. He lives in Donut Pond, celebrates his birthday on July 10. Other Sanrio characters like Hello Kitty, Kuromi, Fifi and Dear Daniel are also fun to draw once this one is complete.

Guide Method and Color System

  • Red Color: the new lines added in the current step.
  • Black Color: completed lines from earlier steps.

This breakdown keeps the design simple and manageable. By following the 10 steps carefully, the drawing will come together cleanly and with proper proportions.
