Simkin sketches and experiments

[Simkin]

I've started to paint the city. I decided to do it A1, so I use my easel for drawing.

[Arimel]

This is looking really cool! I have never tried drawing on an easel before, it must be an awkward angle to draw on.

[Simkin]

Thak you Arimel. Talking about the easel, for now I have only one little problem with horizontal lines at the bottom.

Some upgrade:



A little question, is the wall at the edge of the river sufficently clear?

[Simkin]

Another update, this will be the longest work in a map for me. Hope to not screw it up!

[Simkin]

So... another update.



It looks like I'm doing nothing The sheet is almoust white and I haven't even decided what to draw in the corners.

Nice work!
For me, that's a huge part of the work on paper : think, plan, prepare... it's almost as consuming as the drawing sometimes.

Should be true even for digital. I feel like I tend to jump into things too quickly sometimes. Perhaps doing some traditional mapping would make a better habit of preparation on my part.

I'm agree, the planning is a big part of a project, maybe the best one.

I already decided how to fill the borders, I will need to do some new sketches of the most important buildings in a perspective wiew.
For now... this is where I am:

Little upgrade, I started the "nobles city", where all buildings are unique and the streets are paved.

[Simkin]

I've been busy those past weeks, so little time to draw.
This is where I am now.


This is "the old city"

This is "the heart"

This is "the blue area".
