    Yeah, that's certainly because I do my coastal details like I do my wears on the parchments. I may need to change this. Usually I use sea squigglies to tell the two appart. I like the idea though. The background is destined to be used for my fourth Hattam Reyes map (my avatar in J.Edward's "The Ward of Chiezbehrg"). I guess I'll let the pencil run free and then do something with the forms. I'll take my time as I'd like to make a highly detailed map (the perks of working large). In the meantime, I scanned the parchment at 600 dpi, just in case I mess it up

    Here's the result before I shade the tears.

    Yeah, it could be fun to draw them as scorched islands surrounded by rivers of lava. I might try this someday ...

    PS : I hesitate between hating and loving J.Edward for giving me this torn parchment obsession with his awesome ones ...

    And a bunch of tests of new drawing tools meant as a study for mountains and line width. I need to get those mountains !

    Sweet! I really like the one on the first image - the largest drawing there - it's spot on. What are you using for those brush-like lines? er.. a brush? (from what i can see from the third page).
    You're trying to get J.Edward style mountains, right?

    Wow, it's looking great! Especially the lighter versions.

    Thanks MMM, I'm using a Kuretake soft brush n°13 I recently bought. Great tool ! And I am TOTALLY (desperately ?) trying to replicate John's style ! I'd love to do the linework on my lite challenge entry (and a personal project) in this style.

    Thanks all About the chasm, I printed J.Edward's Divided Lands and tried to replicate the style. He has such a great way of shading things lately. I'm also trying to replicate his mountains style with bad results (I do quite nice cliffs by aiming for mountains chains ...)
