I had to sketch my own lantern and it looked a bit off kilter. I added movement lines to make it look as if it were swaying. Very interesting challenge that I enjoyed. I added the faint look of pine trees in the background. I've never sketched anything before.

Good work with the challenge. I like the lantern in red and it does look as if the wind is behind it. I like the faint trees in the background, also.

I think you did just great! Of course a lantern is going to sway in the breeze, nice way to embrace the lantern's shape. Just gotta let it happen. Very windy today here in Wisconsin, everything is swaying.

You did such a great job with this challenge! I really like the faint outline of the landscape in the background! The lantern really does look as though it's swaying in the wind.

Well, for not sketching anything before, you did a WONDERFUL JOB!!!! I also LOVE the pine in the background & the snow! The way you did this, makes it look like the lantern IS SWAYING in the wind out at some rustic Inn! A SUPER JOB & BIG HUGS for your SWEET VISIT!!! ;)<3 P.S.
