    Help Getting close, help me finish it right!

    Getting close to finishing the B&W version of this map, gona scan it in and add color to it in Photoshop later...
    Any, suggestions on improving it in this format, or ones for when I bring it into Photoshop?

    Thanks y'all

    That's pretty amazing, I especially like the wind rose and the ... other wind rose on the left with the elements. If I had one advice with digital coloring of hand drawn maps it would be to keep the design simple, for example, when I plan on coloring my maps, I do not hand draw the shadows, I had them later digitally. Keep them coming !

    Thanks Thomrey!
    Yeah I think I may lesson the detail on the next map, and add it in the digital versions of it...

    I echo Thomrey! This is amazing! I don't think you even need to colour it! Though I would be interested to seeing how it turns out.

    Seriously I love this a lot. The elements are great. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your maps.

    Thanks a lot Josiah!
    Yes I too like the basic B&W, but in the past I have mostly done maps with gouache water colors... With a small brush ... So have always done color, this is the first real B&W...
