"Whether the weather be fine
Or whether the weather be not,
Whether the weather be cold
Or whether the weather be hot,
We’ll weather the weather
Whatever the weather,
Whether we like it or not."

Background story:
The big empty space was filled with this, but it seemed unnecessary to have it on there now. The main illustration was supposed to take up roughly 50% of the page. I guess I am satisfied with it? But still only as a school assignment; its not something I would have drawn on my own, and still feels a little trite. However, my proff is decidedly sourfaced about digital, and I think I may have won this battle. Long way to go still in changing his mind, but I was thrilled and surprised that he responded so positively.

Had fun with rain effects, haven't done a rain picture in ages. I confess to using mostly warm colors to do the whole thing and then fiddling, I think my teacher worries about all the wrong kind of cheating with digital- the colors would have been hell in real media. My biggest problem is working so damn large, all of the digital stuff I do for him is at 300dpi, and this was printed at 11x8.5 . My desire to prove him wrong is enough to force me through it- probably a good thing to get used to
