My biggest thanks, I'm especially glad if you love it ! ^^
I love this perspective, it's really fun to draw and I'm getting really comfortable with it now
And fabulous work with the lineart, truly! Do it justice with the colors, yeah?

Yeah, I should and I will. There is just something I don't like in it and I need to edit before.
And... "Your maps are so ... you!" >> That's so, so great to read !
Hehe, I'll do my best, but don't expect something too darkWell c'mon, it's your gorgeous penmanship plus HP, what's not to love?

First color layers, very basic so far. I'll add more variety later, and probably will go for an autumnal theme.

Oh, just one thing: I'm not entirely sure if the scrolls are meant as location labels, but if they are, note that Ollivander's is located at Diagon Alley, not Hogsmeade
They are, even if I won't precise where are the shops exactly. Actually I imagine this map displayed on the town hall wall : just point at the shop you look for with your wand, and the map will show you the exact location (maybe with tiny footprints... how cute that would be !).Oh, just one thing: I'm not entirely sure if the scrolls are meant as location labels, but if they are, note that Ollivander's is located at Diagon Alley, not Hogsmeade
You're right with the original wand shop being in Diagon Alley, but there's a small local branch in Hogsmead too, accoring to the Harry Potter Wikia. Actually, it sounds pretty logical : all those young and turbulent students probably often damage wands by fighting or proceeding to various kinds of experiences, don't you think ? I assume this local branch is more specialized in minor repairs than selling

And ah, fair enough. I could recite the books backwards in my sleep, but as you know I'm less fond of the movies and can't say I've ever browsed the Wikia all that carefully. My bad, I should've known you know what you're doing...
To be honest, I don't know it's from the movie or somewhere else : J.K.R used to create and share tons of details she shares on her website, and answered to tons of questions from fans on various subjects, from house elves rights to Gringotts architecture, making the lore growing out of the books and movies. It's an interesting part of this universes : it's growing, it's alive, and hopefully fans are putting those facts all together in websites like Wikia to help map makers doing their job without a headacheOh yeah, I love that idea!

Yeah, I too have been eyeing these little tidbits from time to time, but I've never gotten that into it.

But to get back to the topic at hand, this map is looking superb this far. The first layers or color look great, I think an autumn scheme is a great idea. Did you manage to fix that 'something' that was bothering you before?

You might want to anticipaet and buy a larger jewel box

The 'something' is not on the Hogsmeade map but on a Hogwarts map I drew last year and should definitely post here once. I need to get the courage to open the huge file again and put my hands on the insane stack of layers I have there... It's a color edit, mostly. Yep... just need courage and time ^^
Uuuuh... I'm not good at anticipating this sort of things. You're the prophet, I'm the beeYou might want to anticipaet and buy a larger jewel box

Colors, more colors, variations on colors, and some first reliefs on the grass. Time to move to light & shadows, and last effects, 'cause time flies ^^'
