This guide focuses on how to draw a Christmas elf holding a long gift list in classic cartoon style. The shapes stay simple, and the level feels easy to medium because of the scroll and outfit details.
Observing the Christmas Elf
Key points that define this version of the elf:
- Large rounded head and pointed nose.
- Short hair with simple curved shapes.
- Big ear shape with pointed tip.
- Wide open eyes and a cheerful mouth shape.
- Classic elf hat with a curved tip and small ball.
- Green outfit with red details.
- Boots with curled tips.
- Long rolled scroll held in both hands.
After drawing this Christmas elf, good follow-up options include a scene of Santa on a sleigh in the night sky, Rudolph, a festive polar bear or a cute Christmas tree with gifts.
