Gulf of Alaska

Here's another WIP for my 'Annual Challenge'. The challenge has closed, so I'm creating a new thread. Earlier WIP's can be found here.

This is my first print. The aquatint I did on the mountains came out much darker than expected. That's ok because it can be lightened up with burnishing. Less ok, because I won't have a chance to actually do that... because the class is over and access to presses is not easy to get. This will probably be the one and only print. I still have text to add to it, so it is still definitely a WIP, albeit nearing 'finished' status. Although there are things I'd like to see fixed, I am incredibly excited about continuing to make maps with this technique, and am really happy with the turn out. Also very encouraging to see others excited about the idea. Thanks. Also, I have learned a lot, and future maps are gonna be better .

If anybody has critique to offer, even though I can't implement the changes I'd love to hear your thoughts.

lol, btw, first scan was 0.4 MB over the size limit. Wah Wah



P.S. anybody know why it might be rotate after clicking on the thumbnail?
