Thread: Map of the Zevensprong (The Song of Seven by Tonke Dragt)

    Default Map of the Zevensprong (The Song of Seven by Tonke Dragt)

    While looking for some inspiration I came across this book by Tonke Dragt and I really wanted to make a map inspired by this fantastic story.
    This time I wanted to experiment with more linewidth variety and instead of colored pencils I wanted to try out Aquarel.
    I was to scared to ruin the paper so I decided to go with Aquarel Pencils instead.
    Allthough I do like the endresult, I still prefer ordinary colored pencils.
    Somehow the paper would not accept my Caligraphy pens so had to do all the lettering with my microns.
    Apologies for all the text being in Dutch but here is a rough translation of the rhyme:

    If the treasure could speak with words
    Try oh, child and child’s-child’s-children
    to understand these rhymes

    These words are the sign
    One alone will not find me
    and a ladder will point in my direction

    These words are the sign
    All children are your friends
    attempt to withstand the enemy

    These words are the sign
    Stranger who will bind the Dragon
    will need to travel the 7 paths

    Greensleeve will speak the spells
    Greeneye will find the key
    Greenhair will defeat the Dragon



    Some more info:
    - 350 grms A2 watercolor paper.
    - Sakura Pigma Microns
    - Albrecht Durer Watercolor pencils
    - Roughly 60 hours of work

    Somewhere dark and rather dangerous...and also inhabited by these confounded mosquitoes.
