Ink over a USGS topographic map of South Denver.

This portrait combines two techniques which I tend to use individually on different types of map – the crosshatching between streets, preserving the layout of towns and cities, but also following and manipulating the weighting of contours (the organic lines which show elevation, usually in metres or feet).

18″ x 23″ approx.

Original sold.
