How to draw lanterns?

The second step is to draw two arcs on the left and right sides of the word "I", which are opposite like brackets and have equal radians.

Step three, draw a small rectangle at the top and bottom.

Step four, draw four wavy lines at the lower end as the ears of the lantern.

Step 5, draw a slender ellipse at the top as the lifting line of the lantern.

Step six, color the lantern and paint the main part red. Red lanterns are also our traditional style, and the upper and lower heads and light lines of lanterns are painted yellow.

Finally, you can add some short black lines to the small boxes above and below the lanterns and write the words 2023. This is the red lantern for the Spring Festival this year!
