I'm working on a map using the Mercator globe style presented in Profantasy's Cartographer's Annual 01. I could do and have done a conversion from FT3, but just for fun (?) decided go with the hand-drawn version as well. My sketching skills are atrocious, as shown by my first attempt. After much looking up break points and moving nodes around I got the East coast of North America and South America properly sized and placed.

After much more plotting of break points and moving nodes around, I have another version.
Attachment 122276.
The Americas, the southern and west coast of Asia, and Africa are now in the right position and recognizable shape. I still want to do the Mediterranean, north coast of Europe. Australia, and some major islands. This is technically called doing it the hard way, and the chief thing I have learned is...not to do it that way again if I can avoid it.
