Werewolves of London v. 2

Description

This was also a school art project. We had to take a quote from a song, illustrate it, and incorporate the quote into the illustration. Then paint it with watorcolors, and write the lyrics with ink and a fountain pen (they called them something different.... um, those pens with metal tips that you have to dip into ink all the time?)

I, obviously, chose Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon. It's the first two lines of the song, which are:
I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand
Walking through the streets of Soho in the rain.

Yes, I know in the painting "Chinese" is missing an e. The intent was to have it covered by the umbrella, but then some of the ink leaked into the watercolors (which were still damp... just on the umbrella e_e), so it became a full "s" instead of being partially covered up :/
And there's blue splatters across it that were supposed to be rain, but they didn't show up as well as I would have liked -sigh-.

But everything else I'm pleased with :heart:. I'm terrible at watercolors (don't like 'em much either), but I think I did a pretty darn good job on this one =D. My first ever "successful" watercolor painting, and easily my favorite piece from art class all year n__n
