Drawing Gandy street

Just playing around ( I say playing as if it took me under five minutes, that's not true it took me over 45 mins, perhaps an hour I wasn't really watching the time) with some new fineliners I bought. Well you see the thing s, I bought a few liked them, but then they faded and well it turns out that they didn't like watercolours either... but on these pens its actually written across the side of the pen"water and fade proof, pigment ink" so I shall see.

This would be the beautiful Gandy street, most known for its fantastic independent (yet some of these are more south west chain shops now, but some aren't ) shops and for being the inspiration behind THE  Diagon Alley, yes the street in Harry Potter!!  

It's not a great drawing, but it's practice which I need to do clearly :D I kinda took a photograph at angle, and for some werid reason that was entirely subconscious that I would draw as if it had been taken from a "normalish" angle, hence everything's everywhere.

p.s. In case that you're wondering all those delightful scribbles that are in the bottom half of the drawing are ivy, its pretty dense, should have drawn more... maybe I will go over in watercolour... rambling thoughts continue.
