    Looks fab. How about using a different coloured ink (sparingly) for portions? Rather than full colour. I've no idea how it would look though.

    Your border work is really getting varied and creative.

    I hadn't actually noticed the bookmarks section before you started posting these. I might have to give it a go myself at some point.
    Thanks wminish! I had originally just wanted to put vague storybuilding words and phrases in the border but I really like how the compass looked there in the end so I'm glad you spotted it! I could definitely feel myself improving through the series which was cool and the smaller/shorter maps made me want to experiment and try things I might not have got round to on a full size map right away so I wholeheartedly recommend giving it a go!

    Thank you! I have thought about colouring these so I might make copies and try it out/have a go digitally. I've stuck to black and white maps so far but I'm definitely wanting to get some practice with grey-tone and colour eventually

    I have been following you for a long time for the bookmarks that you posted from last week. I have seen a real time growth and improvement in the bookmarks which are posted by you. You have made a well-versed composition of the bookmarks. Moreover, the illustration of the compass needle is amazing, as the image depicts each and every direction. There are some changings which I might suggest later on, and these opinions will surely help you.
