Blue Orange Lantern

One of my favorite lantern styles is here. To start, I make a straight line starting at an angle, and just continue it around the lantern a bunch of times. Because of the shape, the line continues around and around, crossing and making shapes as it goes. I used a few shades of blue and then one orange to make some contrast. This one turned out really well.

What a handsome lantern!

Triangle Bird

For my first post in well over a year, I want to post one of my most recent favorites. This is a technique where I draw a whole bunch of triangles on a canvas. Probably a few thousand, I guess. Then I kind of approximate a picture of something, this one being a bird. It turned out pretty well.
