Creating Purposful Splendor
©2000 Amelia Janes
Every cartographer should reach for a drawing pen during his/her travels. At first the beginner should try line sketches, and not tonal representations. A line sketch demands crisp observation and decision. A "scientific" sketch is easily over complicated by incidental tone values, shading, etc. Keep in mind that one purpose of a scientific sketch is to communicate information. This purpose can aid the cartographer in reducing the overwhelming "splendor" of nature to an approachable beginning when he or she begins to sketch. Start simply and work toward the complex.
