    Map My First Map

    Ba'Ruiz.jpg

    Hello. So this is my very first map. Its hand drawn with micron pens. I apologize for the image. My scanner can't fit the 9x12 paper and kept cutting off my borders, so I took a picture of it. After several weeks of watching videos, I decided I needed to just jump on in and make something. I learned a lot from making this first one, but welcome any advice. Thank you.

    I like this a lot! Great work, love the way you have done the seas as well as the banner! Perhaps the rivers could be slightly thinner nearer their source but I think it's a great effort! Well done!

    Yup, for a first map, this is pretty good. One thing you might want to watch out for in the future though is lakes with multiple outlets. Multiple inlets is fine, but there should only be one outlet leading from lake to sea/ocean.

    One's worth is not measured by stature, alone. By heart and honor is One's true value weighed.
