"LOI KRATHONG" 

    What is Loi Krathong? In Thailand, the festival is known as "Loi Krathong". The name could be translated as "to float a basket," and comes from the tradition of making Krathong or buoyant, decorated baskets, which are then floated on a river. Many Thais use the Krathong to thank the Goddess of Water.

 

    So I decided to chose Loi Krathong the I decided to draw and color on a black color notebook to add a little twist. I sketched at first to not mess up the drawing. I have a drawing guide beside me. i showed my sketching in this video below  ⇩ ⇩

 

 

Loi Krathong [Sketch]

 

    After sketching i took a little break, I then started to color. I used light/pastel colors so that it'll look lively on the notebook page. I spent about 2 hours making this . Video of me coloring it is shown below ⇩ ⇩

Loi Krathong [Finished output]

    Although it doesn't really look the same and kind of messy, but for me i was satisfied and 'm proud of myself. I think the hardest part was the pink flower, as you can see it's smaller than the actual picture but still satisfied with the results. I really enjoyed it.
