Looks great Bari. I reckon there could be 1400 hundred bricks at a glance. Maybe.

I'd never have drawn that many bricks, and normally wouldn't encourage anyone else to, either.  Yet - it's worked.  It presents a wonderful texture as the background - or basis - of this drawing: reminds me of Victorian techniques, and Gustave Doré: and you can't GET a lot better than that.
