I like both techniques of hatching;they are very artistic and find that they provide a wonderful contrast to the maps (also fun to look at).

I've also got one other fill I've used for illustration but not for maps that I want to use soon in a map, and will post shortly to my blog. It's KIND OF like the stippling, but only kind of.

I use the levels functions in gimp or my scanning program to add a bit of color (usually sepia). <br /><br />The dots are quickish, the blocks time consuming, but not much more than hatching.Gus Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872819206286105195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4607464045429311026.post-37731361743319492212012-12-15T07:25:15.819-08:002012-12-15T07:25:15.819-08:00Very evocative, especially like the thick black wa...Very evocative, especially like the thick black walls. Do you also hand-draw the grid, it has a DIY look?
