    Unless you are using "sailor" as a verb, there should be a comma before it.

    I really like the sketch compass rose. I hope the finished version of the poster will have the same pattern in the shadows.

    Thanks for the catch, I'll change this. The final version will have a heavily rendered compass and I want to have the curved hatching pattern appear engraved. We'll see if I can do it right

    You're way too kind, I've got a lot of progress to make with watercolor. I plan on posting a finished map entirely hand made with watercolor by hte end of hte year, I hope I won't ruin it ... And I have a resolution for next year : taking a drawing/painting class

    Phase one ... now, for once, I'll let it dry long enough not to mess the next step up.

    Thanks a lot Rafal But ... you might be speaking too quickly. Here's a picture of the finished version. The parchment color is too yellow for my state and my brushwork for the other colors is really sloppy (need to learn patience ... and learn how to paint without masks ). Anyway, it's done unless I try and add some more dirt near the tears. I'll scan it properly and try a digitally cleaned version as well as an untouched one. Here's the result. I do not hate it and, at least, it taught me some useful stuff (still gotta take some painting/drawing classes).

    Thanks a lot Tad I'm still hesitating on adding a bit more grit on the edges of the parchment ... might wanna let the week-end pass.

    Map

    And another one (picture only for now, it's a tiny bit too large for my scanner). Still a lot of mistakes but I consider it an improvement from the previous ones (on some points ...). I've bought high quality paper (hear expensive) but I'm not ready to use it yet .

    If anyone has tips (other than "use a finer brush", this map taught it to me ) I'll take it.
