Description: Since there is a brand new category in the ‘For Kids’ section, I will be uploading a brand new fantasy based tutorial, and it will show you "how to draw an elf for kids", step by step. I don’t care how old you are, drawing elves is always fun to do especially when you are bored out of your mind.

I have been such a fan of the game for so long, that anything pertaining to an elf sparks my interest. Another reason why I wanted to show you all "how to draw an elf for kids", is because I know how important it is to create these beings from scratch. I didn’t follow books much when I was starting out. I always relied on myself and drew things my way. Hopefully this lesson will help ease the struggle a bit and enable you to learn how to do something totally new. I enjoyed making this figure, and if you’re looking at this description now, I know you will have a blast with drawing an elf for kids too.
