Description Run and tell all of the angels
This could take all night
Think I need a devil to help me get things right
Hook me up a new revolution
Cause this one is a lie
We sat around laughing and watched the last one die

I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for a complication
Looking cause I'm tired of trying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly high

I think I'm done nursing the patience
It can wait one night
I'd give it all away if you give me one last try
We'll live happily ever trapped if you just save my life
Run and tell the angels that everything's alright

I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for a complication
Looking cause I'm tired of trying
Make my way back home when I learn to fly high
Make my way back home when I learn to. . .

Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone
Try to live this life my own (and)
Fly along with me, I can't quite make it alone
Try to live this life my own. . .

I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for a complication
Looking cause I'm tired of trying
Make my way back home when I learn to. . .

I'm looking to the sky to save me
Looking for a sign of life
Looking for something to help me burn out bright
I'm looking for a complication
Looking cause I'm tired of trying
Make my way back home when I learn to. . .

Learn to Fly by the Foo Fighters.

I've been wanting to draw this for about a month now and I couldn't do it... Finally did it. XD

TOOK SO LONG THOUGH. THE WINGS. I MEAN. WHAT.

I doubt you noticed, but the one on the bottom is designed to look kind of like a sparrow. Like, the angel is older and wiser and he's teaching the younger sparrow to fly. Bound by fate. Or something. I had it all worked out in my head, trust me. o-o

The background and foreground really don't blend at all, which is probably what bugs me the most about this drawing...

Critiques please

I NUH GOOD AT CRITIC-IZING!!

This is really good~ I LOVE the background and um... I don't know how to phrase them but they don't really look like their floating, more like their walk on the wall XD. Try to make them more 'free' like and 'carefree' to make them look all 'floaty', (I mean move the legs higher and curl the tails next time XD) Blehh... bad critic, anywhoo other then that this is super awesome

I know, the positions look a lot more tense than I meant for them too. XD

That's amazing :3
I won't write a critique on that thing because I don't have a lot to critique on. The major thing that you have to work on is sort of bringing your drawings to life. What I mean by that is that it doesn't have a lot of depth to the drawing, they look sort of flat in a way. Blend more colors, and add more shading, find a way to make it appear more 3D, maybe add more details. The other thing is that those canids need to be more bulkier. The tails should also be more shorter, basically work on your anatomy more XP. Besides that this is good, and I really love the concept. I like what you did there when you drew sparrow wings to represent how the angel was wiser. I could have never came up with that idea. :3

I've definitely heard the depth thing before, I'm working on it. XD

I made the limbs and tail a little longer/thinner on purpose, I guess to try to steer away from realism and give it a bit more fantasy. Eh

Ah okay and oh okay I understand XD. It is just that I focus on anatomy much because it can be very important in art.
