Add a new raster layer and name this layer mouth. Your foreground (styles) color and background colors both should be set on black. Using your preset shapes tool using your ellipse shape with same settings as earlier, create as vector IS checked. Draw a small oval shape for the elf's mouth like this

 

Using your object selector tool right click on the inside of the mouth and go to node edit. Take your top node and bring it down so that it is almost straight at the top. Your bottom node needs to be pulled to the left side and down just a little like this

 

Once you have your mouth the way you want it right click again on the inside of the mouth and go to quit node editing. Then to convert this layer to raster. Name this layer mouth. 

Change your background color to a dark pink or red for his tongue. I am using #FF8080. Using your preset shapes tool, same settings only create as vector does NOT need to be checked.  Draw a small circle on the inside of his mouth for his tongue like this

 

Not to bad so far huh? LOL Now we are going to add his eyes. Add a new raster layer and Using your draw tool with these settings 

Draw two small slants in the opposite directions for his eyes like this 

Still using your draw tool same settings draw a smile going over the top of his mouth 

Your elf will not have the colored cheeks yet. Also with your draw tool draw a small curved line below the mouth as shown above. Add a new raster layer and name this layer cheeks, change your foreground color to a dark pink or red I am using #D6594D Using your airbrush tool with these settings 

Now spray some cheeks on your elf like this 

This is what you should have this far. 

Move on over to page 3 and we will add his hat and hair.
