Do you think that the more experienced cartographers here should maybe have a thread where we post a map or two from where we started and a map or two of where we are at right now?

I am wondering if it would be good encouragement or inspiration for new users to know that - yes - some of us did start off with incredibly basic maps too - and you too can become this good with a bit of perseverance.

I've seen it done on some art websites and it might make the whole thing a little less intimidating to new users. I even still have most of my really old efforts on a drive somewhere.

One excercise I have tried to encourage multiple times is to remake an old map just to gauge your progress. I have done this several times myself and have always found it satisfying.

What do you all think?
