The things you miss on this site - I'd never seen this before, and the first thing I thought when I did, before I'd seen your comment, was that the perspective issues must have been nightmarish. Portsmouth is one of my least favourite cities, I'm afraid: I know it has some way to go yet before it's as ghastly as Birmingham, but I find the whole place claustrophobic and oppressive: there are one or two well-designed buildings, but this isn't one of them. I don't like the subject, but do like the drawing, which tells me you've succeeded.

fine liner on 7x5 ins. mount board; the design of these buildings makes perspective a nightmare! Also, despite the piazza, I find the place claustrophobic and oppressive, the feeling I wanted to convey in the drawing
