A Cute Christmas Elf Sketch
In the video, I start by redrawing the basic shapes of the elf. I then add in the details of the face, including the eyes, nose, and mouth, as well as the elf’s ears and hair.I also draw to the elf’s outfit, which includes a green shirt and a green hat with a pom-pom on top.
Once I have the basic shape of the elf drawn, I start to add in the fun retro vintage elements. I use a bright red color for the elf’s cheeks and a vibrant green for the hat and black for the shoes.
Textures & Details adding Vintage flair
The final step is to add in the finishing touches, including some vintage stars, a bit of roughening the outlines and adding textures. The result is a charming and cute illustration that is sure to put a smile on anyone’s face.
