I last posted nearly a year ago. Since then, I haven't drawn a single map. Actually, I haven't drawn anything, except maybe some doodles in the corners of a note pad. You can imagine I'm rather rusty, which is pretty frustrating. I'm also excruciatingly slow at everything I do, and drawing especially so. And so, at three in the morning, sleep deprived and with excess caffeine rushing through my veins, I decide to lay a challenge before myself: start and complete an actual map before next Saturday. Don't ask why, I'm no longer sure myself.

Half the fun of this little challenge is that I'm drawing with literally no plan. I just drew a coastline and started adding some mountains. I'm not even sure what the scale for the map is. I'm just having fun remembering how to hold a pen.

I've been working for the past few hours and have finally hit the point where I need to crash, but I figured hey, lets make cartographer's guild watch my decent into madness, and so here we are.

Somehow by accident I drew a coastline that looks like a creepy clown face (at least to these blurry eyes). So I guess this is going to be the Laughing Coast or something like that. Those forests are pretty weird looking but I figure whatever, we'll see where stuff goes from here. If I don't like it when I have a fresh overdose of caffeine tomorrow, I'll change it.
Let me know what you think.
Cheers!
