Part of the challenge of doing pen and ink drawings is rendering all those varying textures in solid black ink. Your drawing is a fine example as to how to do that. The variety of textural effects on display is truly impressive, creating a real feeling of depth. Great stuff.

It's almost photo realistic. I like it a lot.

There's just one thing that bugs me though...it looks you're staring straight at the buildings (per the picture) but you're staring down at the brick wall. The effect is quite jarring.

To put it simply, buildings are seen from a two point perspective but the brick wall is seen from a three point perspective.

Perhaps overlapping the wall with the buildings might help.

But as I said, I like it (despite the above flaw). You must have spent a lot of time on it.
