Magnificent! 
These are “quick” ones?! You honestly could also probably sell them as card designs, especially since it’s Spanish architecture! 
Keep sharing!

These ones aren’t from Spain. I’m back home now from holiday and back in Liverpool, UK. These are drawings near where I live

Love it!! You’ve got it,
I love the playful nature of the foliage and the “jaunty” tilt of the building. The way you’ve drawn the flag implies the wind is pushing the building to the side a bit. (I can imagine the building snapping back when the wind stops. LOL.)
It’s a fun piece showing what art should be. It LOOKS like art.
One of my mentors talks about how many watercolor artists from an oil painting background make the same mistake. They try to use oil techniques, especially ones from a photorealism background. But, unfortunately, those techniques don’t work.
When I was editing videos for Alexander Art, one of the artists was a floral painter Lowell Spears. In one of his videos, he said, “If I wanted it to look like a photograph, I’d get me a camera.”
Don’t get me wrong; I have the UTMOST respect for photorealists like the Smith family in the UK…both father and son. But I’m coming to realize that looser is better. I prefer your style to photorealism, for sure.
My initial thought is it looks like you MIGHT be “tightening” up a bit. If that’s the look you’re going for, then have at it. I liked your last one. Do you see how “loose” it is compared to this one?
I think you may be searching for your style. Don’t worry about that right now…it will come.
And don’t worry if you think you’re copying Albert’s work, because you’re not. That last drawing has a different style to it than his work.
Keep at it…I think Albert said something about doing a drawing a day. I also have a mentor who says, “Everyone has 1,000 bad paintings in them. So it’s good to get them out of the way…right away.” (Or something like that.) So that’s why it’s essential to do a lot of work.
Here’s an excellent video you might find interesting…
Glass talks about the idea of a “lot of work.” I would add…you need a mentor! Practicing the wrong stuff doesn’t get you anywhere. You need someone looking over your shoulder to comment on what you are doing right and what you need to improve.
Keep at it, my friend!

I just saw this series of posts, and gotta say Dannomiss89 that I love your style of drawing and the subject matter. Also, if I tried something like this it sure wouldn’t be a “QUICK” sketch.
