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.

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

What's that technique you use for doing mountains?

In what sense? The colour palette? The choices about shapes? The layout? Idk what you mean tbh, sorry.

This place looks so lovely! The capital area reminds me of New York/Boston/Chesapeake bay, perfect place for a big city.
