This tutorial covers how to draw Ben Elf, the young elf boy from Ben and Holly’s Little Kingdom. Ben lives in the Little Kingdom alongside fairies, and unlike them, elves don’t use magic. Instead, they rely on hard work and practical skills. Ben is known for his pointed hat with an acorn decoration and his loyal pet Gaston the ladybird.
Drawing Ben Elf from the Little Kingdom
This guide breaks down the process into 10 illustrated steps. Each stage builds on the last, taking you from rough shapes to a finished sketch of Ben with his elf horn and signature outfit!
What Makes Ben Look Like Ben
- Triangular pointed hat with an acorn leaf on top
- Round face with pointy elf ears sticking out
- Zigzag hair peeking from under the hat
- Simple round eyes and a straight line mouth
- Elf horn held in one hand
- Short tunic with a V-neck collar
- Knee-length shorts and small boots
Ben’s best friend is Princess Holly, so drawing them together makes for a great scene. The contrast between the magical fairy princess and the practical elf boy captures what the show is all about. For more characters from this series, Nanny Plum offers another fun challenge with her distinct fairy appearance.
