This was a strange challenge in that, in Provincetown, this building is almost always partially hidden by trees so taking reference where you can see everything is impossible. Luckily I was able to just mirror details from one side to another for the most part. I did have to look at a series of photos from different angles and get very stuck with the upper part and went through photos people put on Flickr of the building and managed to pick up more details that way. I really wanted to isolate the house from everything around it to show the architecture.

This is quite lovely and serious. The only part that doesn't ring true to me is the shine marks in the windows. Everything else feels very observed and those feel like shorthand. Otherwise, they'd be lucky to have this on the front of their brochure.
I used that technique on another drawing and I really like how it looks. It is shorthand for sure. It might have looked better house my other technique which is to use stipple for reflections in glass. The flyers in the display box out front are my posters for Gamera and King Kong, BTW.
