Reply With QuoteAwesome job mate. I think your thoughts re plains would work well and look right, even if it may not be geographically correct.
Have some rep for your lovely line work.
Mmmmm... I would have to study again the latitude scale before I give you an answer. However, I did have a thread last year on how to plan the climate.
Here is the link
https://www.cartographersguild.com/s...ad.php?t=34151
That was the second version of the world map, so of course there are some differences. One thing I am planning to have the desert at the bottom of that page, so it's above the the tropics, but close enough. Actually, I was not far off then with my calculation then. It would be logical to have a grassy plain with some small woodlands every here and there.
I might have to reopen that other thread then, if its more about climate now it should go over there.
Oh and thanks for the reputation!

No we do not create, we simply discover who we are.

That's absolutely amazing! How long did this take you?
Thanks everyone! I have been working on this version since last year, but not intensively because work takes much of my energy.
Damonjynx, what corrections should I bring to make it more geographically correct?

If I look at my thread on climates, I posted a picture with some ntoes on it about possible wind directions and heights of mountains and where the clouds would pour out their water on the earth...

Now, concerning latitude... time to get a ruler out and measure it with some maps... Right now my biggest regret is to have thrown away my world atlas book...

Reminds me of Washington State/British Columbia geography. We have the ocean to the west and a chain of mountains to the East. The wind blows in from the sea can't all get past the mountains so dumps most of the water on the west side of the mountains. So Western Washington is green and full of lakes and rivers but Eastern Washington is dry (comparably). We are a bit North so the overall temperature is moderate. Lots of evergreens/conifers/mix.
Mmmmm it does fit with what I was told on the thread of climates I have... Plains or forests... Thanks Aaron! Will do more thinking before taking a decision!

Okay! Long time no see and its been 3 months. Well, I was not iddle!
I am up to 33 pages so far for my continent. Here is a small update on the northern part. I will post the southern part after protecting it under my copyrights but this one already is. Its not the best resolution for a picture, its only a ipad mini haha!
I am pretty satisfied of the general shape, I have avoided geometrical shapes.

Oh and do note I am not finished so if you see empty space here and there, or rivers abruptly ending instead of crossing on the other sheet, that's totally normal.
