Ink + watercolour test
So I’ve inked the map and scanned it in:
…and I think I’m going to try and use watercolours to colour it. I’ve not used watercolours in ages, so this may turn out to be a bad idea (test colours after the cut).
The large blue green blob at the bottom right is probably going to be the sea, with the grey-ish one in the middle being the land.
If it all goes wrong, I at least have the plain inked map on my computer as a backup.

Yes! Most people create procedural islands, but one can’t beat the interesting look of a well-designed islandscape.

Thanks! I’m going to try and work some actual hebridean folk tales into the story, so the setting’s more than just a map I copied from wikipedia.
