Latern and Shell

FULL VIEW

This is another drawing from art class that I did. I spent lots of time on this one. I think the lantern and shell came out quite nicely. As I was drawing the lantern and shell, I couldn't help but be reminded of one of those paintings you find in beach hotels and houses so I asked my teacher if I could do some sand dunes in the background

Tell me what you think! (advanced critique welcome)

(PS, the base of the lantern was washed out a bit by the camera flash, I'll try and fix that with photoshop later so the picture is truer to the original)
