How to Draw an Eid Lantern
Draw an Eid lantern in 11 easy steps, about 8 minutes. Free, with a printable worksheet.
Each picture adds one red line. Draw that line, then scroll to the next picture. Rub out any dashed helper lines at the end. First up: the glass body.
Step 1: The glass body
In the middle draw the body: a flat top, sides swelling out like a fat belly, a flat bottom.
Tip Like a big onion with its top and bottom cut flat.
Step 2: The cap
On top draw a little pointed dome from corner to corner. Add a tiny ball and a ring above it.
Step 3: Two big eyes
On the body draw 2 big egg eyes, half an eye apart. Colour a big black dot in each.
Step 4: Smile and cheeks
Under the eyes draw a wide U smile from eye to eye. Draw a small oval cheek beside each end.
Step 5: The bottom
Under the body draw a short upside-down cone from corner to corner. Add a flat block foot under it.
Step 6: Bands and dots
Draw a line across under the cap, and another above the bottom. Add 3 tiny dots on the top band.
Step 7: The moon
Up in the sky to the right draw a moon, like a fat C with pointy tips.
Step 8: Stars and ground
Add 4 little sparkle stars around the lantern, and a ground line under the foot.
Step 9: Yellow glow
Go over your lines. Colour the body, moon and stars yellow, around the cheeks. Leave the eyes white.
Step 10: Pink cheeks
Colour the 2 cheeks pink.
Step 11: Green metal
Colour the cap, ball, ring, bottom cone and foot green. Your Eid lantern is glowing!

Follow the steps above and this is where you end up: an Eid lantern, drawn by you.
