Oh wow! I'm in awe of and more than a little in love with your amazing hand-drawn depiction of mountains!
Color indeed could work, but it's something I suspect might happen maybe on some copy in some rather distant futureOriginally Posted by Ilanthar

Mapping blog, my maps mixed with the maps of many other people: https://oldearthmapping.tumblr.com

And so I've finished the mountains, it's time now for rivers and towns.

And a bit of an update with rivers and towns. I was very, very unhappy with the rivers — I thought they were way too thick, to the point where I actually wanted to start it all over again — but my friend suggested thickening the main rivers and it actually worked really well. I'm relatively happy about the result now (but mmy next map will have thinner rivers anyway).

To think all of this was made by hand, really impressive ! I love the lettering and the crest, so clean.
I always admire people drawing such detail by hand - I always worry about messing it up!
It is impressive ! At first I thought the map would be a bit barren without forests but I was so wrong ...
I didn't have much time to work on it due to personal issues, but I hope the swirly text changes enough of the map:

Also, I already have another project planned, this time it will be a continent map - do you have any resources on drawing map projections by hand?
Oh wow, Barat ! your calligraphic skills are absolutely wonderful ! I'm a total fan of your work o_o
It's a wonder. I think we're probably enough to create a fan club.
