Your drawings are lovely. I think all this one needs is a little more shading to make it 'pop. I do understand that you may not want to do any more with it, and it's still very nice as it is. I love the tents.
Thank you ThomasR!Originally Posted by ThomasR
Thanks ChickPea!Great illustrations! Keep 'em coming.
Well, if you insist...

This started out as an idea for an iron mine, but alas, I have no idea how to make those look good without putting in a lot of time. So maybe someday, if I have enough time, I'll try it again. If you have any tips, those would help too.
By the way, did you notice the incredibly subtle dustcloud effect?

Thank you ChickPea
I think that at this point I fear that I'm kinda stuck with the lack of shading. But it's clear that it shows more in certain places than in others, so I will try to learn to work around it.
I've been drawing water lately, and I noticed a lack of interesting things to put in there. So here's an attempt to add lilies to my maps.

An experiment with mist and clouds. What do you think?

I think that was a successful experiment.
Nice, I like the swirly mist pic!

Thank you rdanhenry!
Glad you do, ChickPea! It inspired me to do some other (non-cartography) swirly mist/smoke/fire drawings
And here's a new drawing:

I tried something new with the ground, but I think the colour's still a little off. I have to try some more!
Is it appropriate to revive this thread? I'm basically just continuing what I did but with a bit of a gap in between (and I like how it shows my progress.)

I would like to draw something overgrown next, so I'm experimenting a little with a different grass/moss texture for the ground and something like ivy to grow on walls and stone.
I think I prefer the dark over light moss, although I can see myself using either in different drawings.
The third version for the ivy seems best to me to. The first is quite noisy, and I fear the second version is harder for colourblind people to parse (and my drawings already tend to be problematic.)
What do you think? Does it look nice? Am I completely wrong again? Is this a great opportunity to "borrow" my palette?

Taking last weeks tests a little further!
This was meant to be a simple test to try different vegetation types and textures. Then it got a little out of control...
The statue's design is loosely based on the Winged Nike statue at the louvre. Loosely.
Oh, that's really cool! I like your little bird accent.
