I think the method of drawing a lantern can be divided into the following three steps:

1. Draw the outline of the lantern: Use smooth lines to outline the basic shape of the lantern on the drawing paper. Use round or oval lines.

2. Add details and colors: Based on the outline, refine the lantern’s tassels, patterns, textures and other details, and choose appropriate colors for filling.

3. Improve the picture and shadows: Adjust and improve the entire picture, use light shadows to enhance the three-dimensional sense and texture of the lantern, and add rich details to the picture.
