Novel Map Arnithean - Kingdom of the stars

[Yukunerk Kay West]

Hey, everyone! So I'm working on updating my original map idea. Thanks to the forums here I got some good tips on how to layout the details and draw it in an appealing way.

I like hand drawing instead of computers because it doesn't hurt my wrist as much with the repetitive motion. Anyway, please take a look and let me know what you think! I'm looking for general critique and some advice on how to make it better. ultimatly I want to use the finaly map for my novel when I publish it, so yea!

If you want background I can also add that. I'll start by posting my original map, then show you what I've done to it since!

Cheers!

I draw these on a sheet of cardboard, firm backing, then I photocopied it at work to shrink it to a B4 size sheet. Then I shrunk it again to A4 so that I could scan it on the work scanner and upload them online. I hope the qualities ok.

I realize not all the city names on are it, and Also I haven't names all the country or regions yet. Don't really know what to name them yet or if I should.

What do you think?

This looks nice so far. You draw very clear lines, which is great for hand made maps.
