Topographic map progress - The Easy is finally done! Time to expand westwards.

*EDIT* The EAST is done

As always any feedback / critique / tips / advice for drawing technique / style is more than welcome! (Not like geography advice, I more or less know what I’m doing with that)

Or feel free to ask me about the lore / geography / history of this region. See the whole “world” map here: https://www.reddit.com/r/mapmaking/s/WhmcQbtsTE

Topographic map progress continues.

Still grinding away. It felt like I briefly sped up, but today my progress has once again slowed to a crawl. Oh well. Hopefully in the next day or two I’ll finish detailing the peninsula and can move onto the main body of land in the west.

Topographic map progress update

It’s getting there, slowly. Still a long way from the finish line but I’m not unhappy with the way things are going right now. Not looking forward to working on the larger mountains in the as-of-yet undetailed west end of this map though.

Very slow progress on my topographic map, advice wanted

I feel like the longer I draw for the tinier and more intricate I make the details, which results in my progress grinding a snails pace, and the visual style feeling inconsistent. (You can see that the northern portion I’ve detailed more recently is much more squiggly than the central/southern areas.) At this rate it’ll take weeks.

Does anybody else experience this issue? Any tips and guidance appreciated.

Trying out a topographic map

(I decided not to disqualify the Gulpin line after seeing discussion in yesterday’s comments, particularly the argument that “walking stomachs” is literally the meaning of gastropods.)

Are my hills too messy?

Not certain how I feel about this unfinished map. I definitely need to get better quality colouring pencils (of maybe go back to paints). The hills are a bit of a mess. Any advice / tips would be appreciated
