The Beginning of My Map-Making Journey

[AP.]

A nice beginning. I like your sea monster too.

I would suggest having different types of pencils for certain tasks. It seems you used a pencil with quite a thick drawing size for most things. But, it is definitely worth it having a sharpened smaller line pencil for finer details like buildings or sea monsters. It makes it easier to get the detail you want. For coastlines and mountains the thicker line is fine.

Thanks! I feel the sea monster is a little messy so wasn't sure about that tbh. But yes, you're right I was only using the one pencil! I favour mechanical pencils for most of my drawings but will have to start breaking out the others. I feel silly for not having thought of that haha.
