    The amount of details is mind blowing, but it gives a good "real" aspect to the map !
    I wonder if you can use copy-paste for some walls ? I'm sure it won't show on the general map !
    Thanks JO, I'll continue then I'll see for the copy-paste, It's tempting because I don't have a lot of free time, but it's actually relaxing to draw all these lines without thinking

    One thing I didn't catch, is the terrain around the whole castle : is there just a cliff on the left of the castle or there is more ?
    It's supposed to be the bank of a river, I hope that will be more clear when I draw the river and color the whole thing.
    It seems that you love castle... have you ever been to Guedelon ?
    Never. I heard of it but I never looked at where it was located and it's funny because it is not far away from Sancerre (btw a beautiful tower, a remnant of the city's fortifications here) where I usually go one or two times a year, so I'll probably have the opportunity to visit it this summer.

    Thanks Thomas and I think I'll surely need advices for the shading!

    Thanks The Lazy (the misnamed ) One. If you mean the tapering of each line it is actually intended, else I will surely redraw the cliff around the old castle (their outline it too big among other things) and I wonder if I should thicken walls outlines? The colouring could unify the lines too, I'll see.

    Yes, that's quite what i was talking about. In general, all the lines have a variable thickness which is neither the comicbooky style (where the weights are more "diamond shaped", neither the ink-on-paper feel (where the thickness is quite the same but at the ends). At first glance, the feeling is maybe a bit too artificial, but i don't know how to fix that.

    Keep us updated, i'd be interested to see how the parts will merge together at the end!
