    Map Ukiyo, the World of the Ancients

    image.jpeg

    Here is a map I wanted to keep mostly B&W, but wanted add some color to as well... I have finished the Hand Drawn portion of this map, and may do some minor edits on the comp. once I scan it it... I will edit the type/font, and I will had the color/transparent overlay of the different "Lines"
    Anywho what do y'all think?

    This is really well done Ryusamasan.
    The border and elements are nice, the writing/text is clear.
    All in all a very nice piece of work.

    Thank you J.Edward, what would you think, if I attempted to add some water color elements?

    Do you mean directly on the paper? real water color? or digital watercolor?
    For real, it would depend on the ink and the paper thickness.
    Digital - no harm, so definitely.
    If you're talking real watercolor... Lingon and Chashio can give more advice.
    and if so, I will message them to see if they can offer and help.

    Excluding those things, I think you could add some very nice effects with some watercolor added.

    Nicely done, I'm excited to see this watercolored! If you are not sure with the paper: Listen to J.Edward - I've ruined more than one map completely... digitally (as said) no problem, go for it! =)

    Looks reallly nice. I like the organic quality of the hand drawn lines and the interesting details in the compasses and borders. I agree that some watercolor washes would really make it come to life and add authenticity to the map.
