[Flames]

Name: Leave's
Goals:
1: Draw a swing-set
2.Capture the feeling of young romance in terms of the characters expressions and body.
3.Get into drawing backgrounds ex.grass and world structures.

Spoiler

Alright, So we got there right Flames? So to sum up my experience with it am I satisfied no, do I have somewhat of a better understanding of things, i'd say yes. I tried to color some, really liked how I made the leaves so I left them. For one thing, Bigger resolution for details on face so I don't get a horrid pix-elated mess. Continue gesture practice, get  a better idea of perspectives. Should try to control some of my environment strokes for a more clean look. Don't draw a swing set(for the love of pepe). For an added bonus and the remains of my failed attempt the first time around in which I entered the 12 Dimension.

Second Illustration
Name: Panel 2
Goals:
1. Draw Expression's on a variety set of chars showing emotion in a 4by4 Photo mockup.
2. Practice the head and hair.
3. Fully color and shade.(maybe)> Sry for bad flats : (

Spoiler

Alright, so we actually didn't jebait this time. Unfortunately after two panels our team of Flames Inc. suffered quite an amount of budget cuts and time constrictions. We understand and know, the eyes are extremely awkward and face structure. Please be advised that the staff has confirmed such an issue and will put the utmost effort into the coming weeks into learning how to do eyes and faces right among other things such as clean outlining and proper sketching. Thank you for your patience, we hope you will remain with us.

Flames Inc. Our goal is your imagination and eventually mine. Next up is probably to try and dive into more coloring and shading with this weeks failures in what to do.

Illustration 1:

Name: Elyos, Jewel of the East.

Goal: Drawing a scene, drawing characters in the scene naturally, expressing love and pride for the city through the character's expressions and body language, attempting a complex background

I'm defining romance for this piece as such: characterized by, or suggestive of an idealized view of reality.
"a romantic attitude toward the past"

Spoiler

Illustration 2:

Name: One more chance

Goal: To draw a scene depicting snow and romance as defined as "a feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love"

Spoiler

[Crystal (BobbyjoeX)]

Name: "And your Bird can Sing"

Goal: drawing these 2 characters interacting, even tho they are not interacting well in the image.... and yes they are a couple so... theres your romance : D... i donno...

End Result: so in the end i managed to actually draw these 2 interacting, one character trying to be cute and the other not looking too impressed, he'll come around O^O

the Song in question "And your Bird can Sing" was more so rumoured to be about the rivalry of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones even tho it was never said what the song was about, i would say it is a type of "Silly Love Song" but that was because of Paul McCartney's added verses since John was the one to originally write the song but was not so big on love songs

In the end, the song ended up going in the list of songs that show the Beatles being trolls and writing more Cryptic Bull*censored* lyrics

my piece tho is basically showing a start of a relationship that was pretty rocky in the beginning
