This was a quick 10 minute pencil sketch, on cartridge paper using a 2B pencil. Quick sketches like this are good for training the eye, to pick out the important parts of the view.

The first line placed was the nearest upright corner of the building, the second line the horizon line, these two lines, drawn or just acknowledged, would be the starting point for a drawing of this nature.
