    So I finished the egg map. I'm not happy with the brush strokes. I think that my application of the watercolour ground played a significant role. If you have any advice to give, please feel free to do so.

    I started dabbling with dip pens as my local art supply store stopped stocking the Pigma Micron fineliner sets I used to buy. (I do have back up sets though.) Anyway, this is my latest map. It is still a work in progress as I need to add more detail lines.

    I'm using:
    - Brevillier's Creatacolor Calligraphy ink (black)
    - Speedball dip pen and nibs
    - Prime Art A5 watercolour paper
    - Rofles 2H and HB pencils

    I must still decide if I will colour the map...

    the second one seems almost in 3D. How do you do to make your lines pop so much ? Is there a second grey line almost invisible to shade the lines ?

    The second (grey) line are the residue of the pencil markings I erased. I still press too hard on the pencil when sketching. It's an old habit of mine that i'm working on breaking. I recently began adopted holding my pencils as I do with the dip pens and it does work. But will take some getting used to.

    I created those two "doodles" with a dip pen so the line widths vary naturally.
