    If i might suggest, while i love the linework there is a bit of sense of scale missing in that. I think that adding a few people (or a lot) wandering around could help a lot with that. It's little more than dots afterall.

    Glad that you like it, and indeed - although i will most likely not add tiny people to it, i realized that i totally forgot adding the scale indicators that i used on the previous maps, like waggons and such. I'll add that stuff, just as there will be some minor tweaks to the forest in the foreground, since i'm not yet completely happy with it.

    PS: Added a few wagons, carts and human silhouettes.

    Default Something like a first sketch of a regional map...

    I quickly made something like a first sketch of what could in the end become a regional map for the whole set of drawings that i'm planning to do. I didn't spend much effort in doing it, mostly because i rather spend my time with town drawings than regional maps, however i've got to the point to realize that it's pretty hard to keep all the tiny villages in a logical context without wasting a thought on the larger surrounding region.

    So here it is - not at all a beauty, but it does for now serve the purpose.

    For now it's only the part that i've properly thought about, but the remaining geography won't be that spectacular anyway - another hill ridge south of the river and between the sea, and a lot of small lateral valleys (like the one at Karnberg castle) leading into both the main river and the sea.

    PS: The next posts will be about village drawings again, and if i ever get to draw a proper large regional map, i'll create a separate channel for it.

    Default The next village

    Time for the next one. Along with spending a bit more time on the region sketch i pinned down a few more places that i‘ll draw, and i actually managed to think of names for them before drawing!
    Anyway, next one’s gonna be a large village called Arningen, which is owned by the benedictine monastery of [still haven’t got a name for that damn town]. It’ll have a parish church of a decent size and another monastic grange, but this time a fairly large one which is the centre of the local wine production.

    The size of the drawing will be 20cm x 15cm (without the border, this time i‘ve set it up beforehand, allowing me to draw a nicer border), techniques will be as always.

    Size comparison with the Karnberg map:

    The location of Arningen within the region (the place has got a slightly different spelling on the map)

    This is looking great. I really like the way you draw your buildings.

    Thanks a lot Anna!

    This morning i managed to get the majority of the village buildings planned out, which this time is more of a perspective job than on the last one. This is the current status:
