    Oh man, that is a mega auto correction embarrassment. This is what happens when I see that red squiggly line below and click the first word that is on the correction without glasses. Thanks for catching that.

    Top down can require some creative thinking to make it interesting.

    Thanks so much BB

    I just love the way it looks in a city layout.

    Thanks xCali. No worries.

As beautiful as it is, I don't know if I'd have figured it was underwater if your intro text hadn't said so. But then again, I do assume clear readability was still a major goal, so maybe a murky texture would have been a bad idea. Lovely colors and layout in any case!
    Thanks Kell.
    I did suggest options to the client, but they declined any of the sort of light-through-water texture effects.
    Most of them just looked too busy and didn't read well.

    I'm loving this marine/submarine color palette you're using lately.
    And the map itself is of course outstanding .

    I love your drawings. Definitely you and Mike Schley are my favorite fantasy map artists.

    Do you sketch the form of the buildings prior to committing to the lines and then have a new layer for the actual building lines or do you just draw and adapts what comes out on the same layer?

    Best Regards,
    bb

    Always reaffirming that you are among my favorite styles around here. More for the inspiration folder! Those rounded..er spiraled buildings are so well done!

    It was a challenge to break away from my usual color choices. ;P

    Thanks so much, BB
    I use several sketch layers and streamline it as i go. It makes it a bit faster.
    Well, if I am sketching digitally, that is. If traditionally, then I try to sketch very light at first.
    I also do several thumbnail images to get the feel and flow of things before doing specific buildings.

    Thanks you for sharing your strategies. I never thought about creating thumbnails, I am going to try that on my next map!!
