It's been awhile since I finished up a cutesy little picture solely for myself, and I've been wanting to draw Ben and Charlotte doing things as a couple for quite some time now 
This is the result of an idea I've had in my head for quite a bit. I always like to picture Ben and Charlotte as kind of an old-fashioned couple. They've been together for a long time and they like to go out and do cute little things just between the two of them, like going out bowling or having a nice time at the local ice cream shoppe. I picture Motown songs from the 70s playing from the jukebox as they have their fun... I think that means that I watched far too many episodes of 'Happy Days' and read way too much 'Archie'.
I'm pretty happy with this picture overall! Aside from getting to show the size difference between Ben and Charlotte and work on a soft, love-dovey scene, I also tried some different things to help the shading and color look a little smoother. It's far from perfect and I really need to study up on a few more shading tutorials, but the lighting feels pretty nice to me so far. The one that I'm still on the fence about, oddly enough, is the framing of the picture. I actually have a different version where I cut off about 15% from the top and the bottom of the image. I feel like it makes it a little tighter, but it also creates an odd size and might venture into the claustrophobic.
Regardless, I wanted to give you guys a full picture here I hope that you all enjoy it and that it inspires some romantic thoughts of your own.

Watching "far too many" Happy Days episodes and reading "way too much" Archie sounds great. 
Oh, so Charlotte and Ben are a couple? New to me, but not shocking seeing how they make such an adorable pair!
Best wishes for the lovebirds then! 
And I can identify myself with the whole shading and framing issue. I don't do much shading, tho, but I'm often leaving a few details of the pic off image that rather bothers me, specially when it's a body part. 
Excellent pic, man! So sweet!
