Three Colors Challenge

I was anticipating some "waiting around time" today, so I decided to pack some extra drawing supplies. I usually do all of the drawing in the field and color when I get home, but today I brought three watercolor pencils - red, yellow and blue. I stood leaning against my car in a hot parking lot while trying to capture my surroundings with a strict 10 minute time-limit. The colors were applied directly afterward, while they were fresh in my mind.

I don't have much familiarity trying to draw buildings. It was difficult to focus with so much visual information right in front of me. I wanted to get up closer and draw some of the interesting windows and stains of the faraway buildings. That must be a good sign.

A Competent Profile

As I start to become more familiar with proportions and measurements for the various faces I attempt to draw, I am starting to wonder how to make a more complete portrait with my limited time. Do I stick to lines? Do I bring a brush and some ink? Which lines should I include? Which shapes are important to represent? Maybe this is a good time to look at the work other artists have done and try to work out some of their methods.
