Fiction Project - mansion time

For the mansion in the story, I decided to use the Brighton Pavilion - the story is unclear precisely where it is set but there is reference to Indians, so I thought it'd be an interesting take to have the exterior of the mansion as Indian architecture rather than something more westernised.

Drawing buildings is something that is out of my comfort zone - especially detailed ones such as this - so I found these drawings really useful for my own skill development.

It's an incredible building so I got a bit fancy with my photography.

I filled up my memory card before I could get any of my own photos (and at the beach it was too windy to draw!), but I thought the west pier would be good as a reference for the burnt down mansion. Images from google -
