Many different people show different interests to the weather.
Rain in particular, is usually depicted as being depressing, sad, miserable, etc.. In my opinion, I do find rain depressing but because of this I kind of enjoy it. I'm not so sure as to why, I'm guessing that I thoroughly enjoy it because of the change of mood/atmosphere.

Anyway, as I love rain so much I decided to draw it in a melancholic setting. The creature below is entirely made from my imagination, yes, I have a very very weird mind...

So, as i'm taking art for one of my courses i'm trying various styles to see what i'm really good at. Constructive critism is very much appreciated but please... no harsh comments.
Thanks!
