Thread: My older hand drawn city maps

    Map My older hand drawn city maps

    Definitely not great works of art... but I am proud of them given I have 0 artistic ability.

    Any feedback is appreciated!

    FYI some of the have scale (1 hex = 25') but there are no hexes! This is because I use my maps in Roll20.

    The colors used here remind me of the maps I drew as a child to depict the fantasy lego realm I imagined whilest building lego castles. Saying this I mean that these color combination gives me childhood memories which I appreciate very much. If you like some suggestions I'd say the farms are much too regular. Looking on maps and Google Earth for a while taught me that fields normally follow terrain, height and obstacles more than geometric forms. Especially in earlier civilizations. Also they would like to make use of every fertile inch there is.
    Some kind of frame would also be very nice.

    Great colours, and you're definitely going the right direction with your shading. Are you planning to continue work on these? Like Eld said, the fields could use some adjustments. From what I remember, fields tended to be long narrow strips, jammed right next to eachother, with one narrow end backing on a river where possible.
