    Just wanted to update you guys on what I'm busy with at the moment. I'm practicing settlement iconography.

    Some more experiments in my sketchbook. The paper is not watercolour paper.

    Playing around with different techniques.

    Panel 1 (top left): I used a paper palette to add colour.
    Panel 2 (top right): I used a wet brush to obtain colour from the pencil before painting the panel. The aim was to experiment with the colour of the ocean.
    Panel 3 (bottom right): I used the same technique as in panel 2. The green island received a base coat of okra followed by light green and dark green.
    Panel 4 (bottom left): I used the same technique as in panel 2, outlined the planet with pencil and used cerulean blue for the ocean and okra for the land. The polar ice cap was coloured white.

    Help

    I tried my hand at some marshes and heraldry. Do you have any advice on how I can improve the marshlands in terms of water richness and in other way?

    Thanks!

    I've been practicing drawing and colouring boats with the aim participating in the lite challenge. We'll see how it goes though.

    Ahh, do I recognise some techniques from Jared Blando?

    I was given his book at Christmas and it inspired a burst of map-making from me again.

    The marshes look good, maybe a more desaturated shade would indicate marshland better. Perhaps a wading bird or narrow puddles if it's a large stretch and you want to fill it out with some landmarks.

    Yeah, I bought Jared Blando's books on regional maps and city maps. It's the main source of my techniques.

    Thanks for your advice on the marshes. I will experiment with them.
