Again, this whole weekly map thing is inspired by your own scanning project, and the maps drawn by one of my D&D players.

This particular map is the first one I’ve drawn in an old Limousine book (basically an early 80’s version of a Moleskine). I went for very fine cross-hatching in this design, which I love, but have been playing with bigger and “looser” cross-hatching in some of my other recent maps that I’ll be posting. They aren’t as pretty, but it takes me about 1/3 the time to make them.

I’m considering doing a full page of this style of cross-hatching so I can just use it as a layer in the Gimp and not bother actually doing manual cross-hatching on my future maps, instead just adding the cross-hatching digitally afterwards… but that feels like cheating.
