An elf sitting with his legs out in front, a pompom hat on his head and a candy cane held in both hands. A Christmas elf may be any color at all, which makes this elf drawing easy to hand to two children at once without either copying the other, and the ribbed sweater keeps the markers busy with stripes. The cane is the one part that everyone agrees is red and white. The polar bear is bigger and rounder.
