An elf boy with a curled pointy hat and scarf, surrounded by snowflakes. Medium — great for kids.
Curled hats deserve a curl of color: a green hat shading darker in the curl’s underside, a red-and-white striped scarf, and a warm brown or blond fringe of hair. Snowflakes around him can be a mix of white and icy blue. Keep his tunic a single strong color so the hat and scarf get to perform their tricks up top.
Follow the hat’s spiral with your strokes, lightest on the outer curve and deepest where it folds, and the curl looks genuinely rolled. Stripes on the scarf should wrap with the folds too, bending slightly rather than running straight. One gold bell or buckle, colored last, ties the outfit together neatly.
