wes1761 Posted January 31, 2011 Share Posted January 31, 2011 (edited) Started sketching and drawing again, when I was cleaning out the workshop I found an old atlas from the 30's. I used a combo of 2 old printouts of the Caribbean and the map of Cuba in the atlas to make this. It is on heavy paper and I used India ink on the old nib tip pens to ink it..... Bad pic, I had to use the phone... OK, got the camera to work: Edited January 31, 2011 by wes1761 If it was raining soup, I'd be stuck outside with a fork.....

Dread Pyrate Greyhound Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Wow, pretty good. I've been tryin' to put together a chart book made of maps of the pirate's hunting Grounds. Several of the Caribbean, one or two in Madagascar Waters, and a few others. Little tip though, if you've ever seen maps from that era, they never showed the exact coastline since they weren't as accurate as modern charts. That's why I work from pictures of period maps in my collection of pirate books. And the Ship is a nice touch too. Let every man Know freedom, Kings be damned, And let the Devil sort out the mess afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wes1761 Posted February 22, 2011 Author Share Posted February 22, 2011 This is for me and goofing off, I wasnt trying to be period correct on it. That comes later after I get used to nib pens again!! Thanks for the compliments! If it was raining soup, I'd be stuck outside with a fork..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
