    Map Beyond the Sidewalks

    A rural homestead in the autumn.

    This was my entry for the September 2019 Challenge: Autumn themed Map.
    The WIP thread is here.

    Beyond the Sidewalks 5.jpg

    Drawn free-hand on light card stock, inked and colored with colored pencils.

    Drawing is not in my skill set. I have the knowledge but the skill has eluded me...

    But one afternoon I started laying out a map for the challenge and I was really surprised by what my pencil had produced.
    So I redrew it on better piece of paper and inked it.
    I had been planning to color it digitally, but I was on a roll...
    I got out the set of colored pencils from my childhood (circa 1960) and... got this result.

    This is the best traditional drawing that I have produced as an adult.
    (There was a watercolor that I did in 6th grade... It got a blue ribbon at the county fair.
    But I didn't keep it when we cleaned out my parents' house in '95.)
