Big Ben in London
"Often called Big Ben after its Great Bell, the clock tower has marked London time since 1859 and survived war, fog, and floods beside the River Thames. Its Gothic Revival stonework by Augustus Pugin pairs pointed arches with precise clock mechanics. In this drawing, the dial, belfry, and Westminster facades invite careful inking. Choose stone grays, cherry red for buses, and cool river blues to evoke a crisp British morning ready for coloring."
