Map Drawing - A Distant Planet - Ran Art Blog

Listening to a song by David Bowie, I decided to draw a map of a distant planet, from imagination.
It took ~17 hours.

I used a 0.1 fine liner (pen).

Sometimes, I like an old looking paper, or an antique looking scroll.
First, I burn the edges of the paper (it is optional).

Note: using fire is dangerous and should be done outside, with a grownup supervision.

Next, I immerse the paper in water with concentrated tea or coffee.

Lastly, I leave it to dry.

Now I can draw on it a pirate treasure map.

Or, a world map.

I used a colored paper for drawing the planet map.

There we go again:
