    Map Random sketches - Inktober2019

    It's been ages since I've last been here and looking at all the beautiful maps I feel inspired and want to create something myself. I thought that inktober might be a good way for me to get back into mapping. I've decided to try to create a small map for each day of October. We'll see how it goes... They are probably going to be just quick sketches using traditional media.

    Below you can see my first map. Drawn on a 9x13 cm piece of paper. All constructive criticism is welcome.

    Map

    Thanks!

    This time I drew something inspired by a map of the Nordic countries by Olaus Magnus (1555).
