Have you seen Diana Smith's CSS drawings? Stunning. These far transcend the CSS drawings that sort of crudely replicate a flat SVG scene, like I might attempt. We were lucky enough for her to post some of her CSS drawing techniques here last year.

  1. border-radius
  2. box-shadow
  3. transform
  4. gradients
  5. overflow

...but of course, layered in trickery!
