ILLUSTRATING
Not satisfying enough, I try to do more explorations. After a while I am reminded of Beauty and the Beast movie, whereby the concept art in the movie uses flowers to symbolize beauty.
Side story:
An accident happens, my external drive was spoiled and I lost all the data. I needed to wait for 2 weeks to get it fixed. Thankfully, I can retrieve all the files and continue to work on the animation.
ILLUSTRATING
Coloring Windows:
The most exciting part of the process is coloring!
Background Exploration:
After consulting with Ina, I find an idea to put the windows onto a wall (just like windows are supposed to be).
1. Searching on the textured wall and find that brick wall is interesting to put vintage feeling.
2. Tweaking of the wall’s color and texture.
Illustrating
Sketching:
Window designs are taken from interesting designs around Europe
Process of illustrating
1. An unknown design (most probably from Rusia)
2. A design from Europe
Motif: 
3. Chinese Motif
Motif : 
4. Arabic Motif
5. A design from New York
6. Gothic design from Ukraine
7. Japanese design
At first, I choose 7 windows to illustrate 7 continents in the world. However, after I do explorations some continents have similar designs.
Thus, reasoning of the current 7 chosen countries is to show major differences of window designs on different countries which are influenced by their culture.
Researching some backgrounds:
On this state I am still unsure of the suitable background.
