Edo art

We were told to pick a style to draw a background and some characters in, I picked the Japanese Edo style. We were going to draw a background, then later some characters.

Thing is...I don't do planning and someone else's style at the same time. So I got told off by one of the teachers. 

But in all honesty, I don't work very well having a bunch of people around me. I like to choose the background noise and sound level on my own, and it's usually ending up with instrumental music for a reason. It doesn't disturb me much, and if it does, I can turn it off <3

[sorry for the quality of the pictures, but the school scanner brutally murders all my colors and pencil lines, and my web cam doesn't like lack of light...]
