Considering they were encasing these heads in pumpkins, not turning them into as he had mistakenly thought earlier, he didn't feel much necessity in making his heads perfect. But this was kind of fun and he was enjoying the small creative break before they got to spell casting. He was pretty pleased with the results, all neon colors and he had decided to change one of the skull heads to black to make the colors pop even MORE. That one was most definitely his favorite.

Hearing that it was time to move on though and that Professor Carton needed their attention, he averted his gaze to the front of the classroom as instructions for the spell were given. He stared at the design for a minute, definitely thinking it was in fact a tricky one and trying to find some type of correlation to a pattern in his mind. Perhaps a bite from an apple? No, no it looked more like someone trying to draw a nose on a face starting from the chin up. He watched the Professor's examples as well, before they were released to work on their own.

He stared at his skulls, before picking up one of the paintbrushes he'd been using and pulling out a piece of parchment from his bag to practice the movement. The first one was pretty wonky.. the second a little bit better. But he still kept going until there was about 15 small designs on his page, but a consecutive 3 created that looked proper. He grabbed his wand, shaking out his wand arm so that he wouldn't be tense while casting.

Evan stared at the first skull, pushing the other two off to the side a bit, and practiced the wand movement one more time for good measure. Satisfied he had that part right, he did it again, adding "Melofors!" accompanied by a flash of orange. He was pleased that he'd gotten the spell and yet...

He had clearly not focused his envisioning what the pumpkin would look like. Because the pumpkin was... ugly. It was mainly orange with weird white splotches (he'd wanted white), and the stem was longer than the height of the pumpkin. It did encase the skull but... only barely. Overall, he was not pleased with the creative portion, so he pushed that pumpkin aside so he could continue onto the next.
