Ahh, do I recognise some techniques from Jared Blando?

I was given his book at Christmas and it inspired a burst of map-making from me again.

The marshes look good, maybe a more desaturated shade would indicate marshland better. Perhaps a wading bird or narrow puddles if it's a large stretch and you want to fill it out with some landmarks.

Yeah, I bought Jared Blando's books on regional maps and city maps. It's the main source of my techniques.

Thanks for your advice on the marshes. I will experiment with them.

Practicing on watercolour paper before I colour my entry for the February map challenge.

I need advice on cliffs and shading for the Broken Isles map I am working on. Which of these six cliffs and shading look best? Do you have any advice to give?

Some more experiments working on shading (colour and line art).

So, again, any advice is welcome.

I thought I had subscribed to this thread a long time ago. I guess not and have missed many great posts. I love the egg maps and the water colored islands above also shaped out pretty well. Even though it is rather simple, post 21's island image is very clean and nice.
