Hello folks.
Per the request of a special someone, *COUGH COUGH* Nobi I am going to do a tutorial on how to draw Elmo. Remember, Nobi, you asked for this xD.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Start by mapping out the general shapes, like the head, eyes, nose, etc. (The picture is very blurry, I apologize). You can also add general lines/circles as guidelines if they help you.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. Start the lineart and use your previously drawn guidelines. If you mess up, that's okay. With the fur, try drawing it as squiggles or small lines so it looks realistic.
As my dad always tells me: You can't rush art, nor can you mess it up.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. If you're confident in your sketch and lineart, use a pen, marker, or both (your choice) to outline. Try to follow your pencil marks.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Erase your pencil lines. If you are unable to, thats okay.
Tip: Wait a minute or two to let your pen/marker dry or it will smudge and mess up your Elmo.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Optional: Coloring. I reccomend markers for the fur (you can use different shades for more dimension), colored pencil for the eyelids, watercolor or colored pencil for the nose, and pencil/gray colored pencil for the eye shading.

Why did I just spend 20 minutes drawing Elmo for this-?
WHO CARES IT WAS WORTH IT!
If you are going to follow this tut, well number one you are insane and I love it, and number two comment with a picture of your random Elmo head CAUSE I WANNA SEE.
K that's all lol.
