I was playing around yesterday with some map sketches and decided to take this one a bit further.
It was a test of some concepts, mainly a nice aged look but also for some ink effects and a chalk look for the highlights.
I was trying to make the map look as though it had been owned by a number of different people who had made notes on it in their own languages.
I was satisfied with the results. I'll definitely do this again.
Here's the original pencil sketch and then the finished map.

Oh yes. I most definitely like this one a lot. I can't decide whether its the shape, the colour, or the authenticity of the feel

Another wonderful one and I especially like the worn aspect and these annotations.

Thank you Mouse Really appreciate it.

Thanks Thomas I have meant to do annotations on a map before but oddly it just never happened.
This one is not quite right, but I like it. I will definitely make another go at this sort of thing.

It looks fabulous! I love the less technical and more hand drawn sketched "caterpillar" mountain ridges on it. Also the notes in the fantasy script add a wonderful touch to it. As always very inspiring!

Great job on this John. Definitidly trying to emulate this style in my future map if you don't mind, this caterpilar mountains inspire me a lot . The three style of annotations are a wonderfull idea .

Love it! Especially the subtle linework, good job!

[ChickPea]

Nice work! I love the casual hand-sketched style of the border. It's really attractive and works so well with the style of the map. I like the different labelling too, though I keep looking at the red-coloured script and picturing some sort of satanic monster writing those notes in someone else's blood (too much imagination here. ) Also, you have lovely hand-writing! Can't get enough of those caterpillar mountains. I need to give them a try one of these days.

Will rep if I can.

Very nice and great inspiration! I just got a great idea and will make a style ispired by this.

Can't rep

Great map, as usual. Your linework is so elegant!
