Arda Quain realms

Azélor: Thank you very much for this very constructive criticism; I'll change the river areas you pointed out, and I'll keep it in mind for the rest of the map also. I want to do something realistic, at least for a fantasy world (you know what I mean) so you're highly helpful

Kellerica: **** yeah ! And thank you btw it appears to me that level lines style was the easier to start with using Illustrator. However I really enjoy it because of the possibility of details that I can put in. And also when you (I, at least) draw a map, you think about strategic places, intresting areas and so on, which make the map living; it is much more straightforward to represent such things when you work with big scales.

Llannagh: thanks much for your comment. I know what you guys mean, I also feel that the b&w map especially looks like those old maps from fantasy novels. As I said, I stopped to draw on paper for the moment, I rather try to get skills with graph pad and Illustrator. You pointed out the problems with handmade drawings btw
You also remind me a thread from Meton, with a beautiful and inspiring handmade level lines map: https://www.cartographersguild.com/a...8&d=1534276138
Besides I fully agree with your last post. Cartographers are smart people... :p I would also add that it's very useful to get reviews from professional-like cartographers, so that I (as a beginner) can improve faster and in efficient way.

I'll post an updated version of the little map when all the levels will be done and the rivers corrected.
