Another house on the the way to my gym/pool. This was not in the best shape for a long time and a few years ago fell victim to fire. After the fire there was a major renovation that kept most of the original details and restored it to perhaps more than its former glory. 

This was a rare case I didn't hate the drawing until the end when it was near finished. It came along much more smoothly, thought slowly. Lots of bricks. I think before the fire it was all painted pink!

The family house, now sold. I wanted to honour the place in some way I could. So many memories there with my parents I will miss. Drawn in procreate.

This might be the last of the building drawings for a while. It's my least favourite so far and the least interesting to draw. If I come across something inspiring, I'll do another but while this is OK I would rather move on to some other stuff. Like the small scale of the houses so I am not sure I want to do "landmarks" or "architecturally important" structures. The sort of odd not quite maintained look of the ones I have done already is what drew me to them.
