Colouring?
It's been a while since i've written something here, but...
...while i was bored with my laptop in front of me, i randomly tried a few things on this map - colour invertion, playing around with other background colours, b&w - and i tried to colour a small bit of the town as a test to see what's possible.
What do you think? Is it worth going on with this?

I might give it a try if i find the time and motivation for it; for now i managed to get that small part of the town fully coloured.
I don't like the way the river looks though - does anyone have an idea how to make it better?
I'd also like to see it fully colored!
Concerning the river: The blending is too soft and you may want to reduce the reflection of houses and trees if it's a fast flowing river.

Thanks for the advice, i will get to back when doing the river on the full map.Concerning the river: The blending is too soft and you may want to reduce the reflection of houses and trees if it's a fast flowing river.
Being back on my desktop PC with a good Photoshop version and - most importantly - the full resolution image of the drawing, i've started the proper colouring attempt by doing all the roofs.
Next step will be colouring the facades, mostly with soft ochre, rose and similar colours - and then there's a ton of nature to do.
Also i did the tourney ground already
PS: found a missing roof - whoever finds it may keep it
PPS: found 2 more - it's getting to much for it to be a proper challenge
It's a really nice map and piece of artwork.
My new Deviant-thing. I finally caved.
The addition of colour is really taking this one to the next level, can't wait to see the finished article.

Nevertheless i spent some more time on it, which allowed me to get the majority of the trees done - and i'm quite happy about how they turned out
Amazing work!!
