Thread: Hello there. Again.

  1. #1

    Wip Hello there. Again.

    Strictly speaking, this isn't the first time I'm posting something. However, I messed up the last one, so here goes nothing. This is a WIP, it's basically a real world location (British Isles), drawn in my personal style. I've only been doing cartography for about half a year, so criticism is eagerly welcomed, and appreciated.

    Welcome back! Nice artwork, but the image quality is a little iffy. It's good to see someone doing labeling by hand!

    I'm a little curious, though: how does one get an unstable gun?

    Yeah, sorry about the image quality. My phone camera isn't the greatest, and the lighting absolutely sucks. Ah well, c'est la vie. The lettering and drawing were enjoyable, but kind of risky too. I used coffee to stain the paper, and I'm worried about using the eraser too much, lest I rip the map or something.
    Finally, it's not the gun that's unstable, it's my enthusiasm regarding them XD.

    That makes more sense!

    Nice map and I like the hand lettering. I was a draftsman ages ago, before CAD, and can appreciate good hand lettering.

    Thank you. I'm glad the font looks presentable, I wasn't sure whether I would be able to put in the required details on the smaller sized writing.

    That's a nice map! As a Man of Kent, though, I'm obliged to point out that the Kentish coastline isn't really a long range of enormous cliffs. Those are only where the South Downs hit the sea. West of Folkestone it's mostly very flat.
