A lantern with a rounded carrying handle

Practice a lantern with clear forms and selected overlaps. Add two plain chamber supports and an arched carrying handle with clear side attachments. Place one small flame shape and local graphite beneath the top rim. Leave the glass chamber mostly open.

A way into the drawing

1. Stack the main forms

   Draw a low base, a broad chamber and a shallow domed top. Keep their ellipses at the same angle.

2. Join the handle and supports

   Add two plain chamber supports and an arched carrying handle with clear side attachments.

3. Keep the inside simple

   Place a small burner and flame inside the chamber. Add local graphite beneath the top rim and at selected base edges, leaving the glass and broad base mostly open.

A small thing to tryCheck that the handle attachments sit at matching heights before finishing the arch.
