    I like it. You've done a nice job with the layout of the streets and such, it is compact, but that is certainly no sin in a setting where you have castles and walls and nasty things outside that want to get inside.

    This is not so much a critique as a question: do you want to make some of the buildings inside of the walls connected to one another? The reason that I say this is that you do find some buildings made in that fashion in this style of map, pushed rather tightly against one another. It diesn;t have to be all either, in fact better if it is not IMHO.

    Once again, thanks for the input.

    I utilized some of your advise and now have an inked copy of the map.

    I'll post again once I have it coloured.

    cheers,

    Looks good... are you inking it by hand with regular pens or rapidograph like pens?

    I inked it by hand with a technical pen.

    Okay, here is the coloured version.

    Snag away, and thanks for the help.

    Thank you,

    I think my enthusiasm over my first map on this site led to some hasty inking, but my further posts will surely improve.

    As long as I receive this honest and helpful feedback, I'm sure to improve my skills (which IS why I'm here); thank you to everybody who has responded.

    You used color ink as well? I know that seems like a stupid question, but I was making sure you didn't photoshop it after you inked it... if so, where do you get your inks for your tech pens? I love the colors

    No, the colour was all done in photoshop. I just inked the pencil drawing with a black staedtler pigment liner; nothing fancy.
