    Default September 2015 Challenge: The Durnstel Estimates

    Howdy all.

    Many of you are well aware that I like to join challenges that are way out of my league. Normally I can hold back, but this month's prompt was too intriguing.

    This will actually be the FIRST EVER digital map I've tried. All others have been done by hand and then scanned in... and while they were never fantastic on paper, the scanning bit didn't always do them justice. I figure challenges here on the guild are about learning and growing as a cartographer (and getting them badges!) so why not give digital a go?

    Anyway... to the map:

    97% (roughly) is transparent right now... hopefully that will make it easier to color later on. I've also left myself some space at the bottom for context paragraphs and a legend.

    Anyways... I would really appreciate suggestions. Trying to work out how I should do the mountains... it all has to be line art.

    Thanks very much.

    The best maps are the ones we like the most after looking at the longest.
