Pen and ink "Hippies use side door"

Pen and ink "Hippies use side door" - student project

Never used a brush pen, so I tried one for this along with a 05 Micron. After the photo and most of my work, I realized the background should be light gray to make the foreground pop. Decided to do a light watercolor wash to do the background. My brush pen ink dissolved in water! Big mistake. I tried to salvage it the best I could along with my motto of "never give up". Wondering if I should have used more cross-hatch as most of my lines go in one direction?
