Getting continent shape and size right on a flat map

[selden]

One way to do it would be to draw the continents individually as separate pictures, drawing each one as if you were looking straight down at it (i.e as gnomonic projections). Then use map projection software to reproject the individual maps onto your full map.

Another option would be to use a program like "Deep Paint 3D" to draw directly on the surface of a sphere. (Except that it looks like Right Hemisphere's Web site no longer exists )

Ooh! That's thought. I may have to try that!

Thanks! :-)
