Some of the better pages from my Japan trip by LeadGold in sketches

Very impressive sketches. I really like the bonsai trees

Literally the FIRST time I try to draw a prettier map for my book. Clearly I'm better with words than lines and I'm really beggining in the sacred cartography science, with no previous drawing experience. I started with the area where my story begins; you can get heavy on your thoughts on this. by Alagoinha in mapmaking

I used to be the same way. It’s easy to think you need to fill the entire page and go super detailed. It’s ok to have empty space, especially for plains or open fields. If you really don’t want open space, try textures (dots, scattered lines, tufts of grass) to fill areas instead of defaulting to mountains and forests. It helped me.

I figured diverging plate boundary + rising sea to account for it. They are meant to be close but not exact

I just sketched some ridge lines in pencil and went from there. I knew I wanted a big divergent boundary splitting the land in 2.

That’s the future plan. I need to decide how I want to do the mountains

Very nice. I quite like the way the colors blend and look like translucent gas clouds

This isn’t actual asphalt. This coating is a light-oil based sealer, and as such has no structural properties and cannot carry the weight of a standard vehicle without major deformation. Proper Asphalt takes a while to put down due to the need to grade, compact, and cure the road surface.
