If you want a more traditional Leprechaun look, you could also give the fella a beard!
Try drawing a body of your own or go to Part 2, Chibi body tutorial. If you want to try drawing your own body, keep in mind that the body of most Chibi's has exaggerated proportions. Draw it very short, about the same height as the head. The total height of a typical Chibi is 2 heads or 2 and a half heads high.
Whether you use the head alone or add a body, it's always a good idea to duplicate the completed drawing before resizing. Leave the original 'untouched' to use again another day! On the duplicated copy, drag a selection completely around the entire vector drawing with the Pick tool. Use a corner handle of the bounding box to resize smaller by dragging toward center.
When you're happy with the size of your elf, crop the canvas size to be as small as possible. Export as optimized GIF or PNG.
