I can't help but be happy when I look at this elf. It is just pure happy, happy, joy, joy! heh-heh
I started off colouring the image with Copics. Here is the Copic list:
Skin: E0000, 00, 11, V95, R30 blush
Reds: R17, 29, 89
Greens: YG01, 03, 05, 45 as well as Prismacolour Light Olive Green
Hair: E08, 15, 97
Blue ball: B32, 34, 37
Whites: B000, BV20
W00, 1, 3 as ground shadow
I also used Prismacolour Pencils over top the image in places to bring out more shadows and highlights, so this is a mixed media image.
I joined in a couple of challenges at Splitcoaststampers:
WT651 - In Three (I used three holly die cuts and the elf has a hat with three peaks)
SCSCCSEP17 - memories (I have a fond memory of seeing real (to me) elves on Christmas eve when I was around 6! Looking back I know it was just a vivid dream... or, was it?...)
And the Fussy And Fancy Challenge (in the blogiverse) - Anything Goes, mixed media (I used Copics and Coloured Pencils)
Thanks for looking today!
