Illustrated Map of the British Isles
So this is a project I have been working on for the best part of this year, and I am so pleased with how it has turned out! It's a big one, A2, the biggest one I've ever done, and the most detailed too. I cannot wait to see this printed!
Created in: Adobe Photoshop CC.
Size: A2
Time taken: many, many hours

Thank you! Yes, I am considering doing a colour version, but that is new ground for me so a little unsure about it! I will definitely be looking into it though.
Nice map, very well done - I always like the little icons of places like that. What was the rationale for choosing those particular places ? Were they places you liked when travelling or had some specific meaning as a set ?
Very nice work

Thank you! I have a love of the older sites (hence the stone circles) and medieval castles, so wanted to include some of those and some other maybe lesser-known places as well as some more natural features. It was tricky deciding what to include to be honest, as there is so much of interest around! I have toyed with the idea of doing some age-specific maps but I also don't want to go overboard with the British Isles. I have plans to do some more focused maps of counties to include some more local details but that will take time. It was tricky to guess what places people would want to see featured but keeping it a bit more unique with the selection too. I'm still not sure how well I did with it?
This is so good, I love all the little details (I can see my house from here XD). I can see the hours and work that went into it.
Personally don't think it needs colour, but would be interesting to see
Thanks! Haha. Yeah, it took a long time, but I don't regret it. Colour would definitely be a challenge, but it would be a good one to try. Black and white is definitely my prefered style at the moment - a comfort zone I should probably do more to push out of.
Amazing work and the time spent is very clear! Excellent details, particularly in the monument drawings. It is kind of sad though that Cardiff Castle was missed, although I admit it does not look as impressive as many of the other ones that you included.
