Hand-drawn map drawing method

The drawing method of hand-drawn map is as follows:

1, draw an outline. Draw the basic terrain with a pencil. In this article, we will use a panoramic view of a fictional world as an example.

2. color filling. Adjust the outline of the pencil, and then hook the edge with an ink pen. If you draw a color map, choose the right background color to fill the land and sea. Draw a compass pattern on the map to indicate the direction of the map.

3. Draw geographical elements. This is the crowning touch, and readers can feel the place that the map wants to show more intuitively. For large-scale maps, it is necessary to draw large map elements such as mountains, rivers and ocean depths.

4. Mark the scale. Scale is used to explain the correspondence between the unit length (inch/cm) and the actual distance (mile/km) on the map. With the scale, the map can determine the actual distance.

5. Add warp and weft grids. The distance should be even and the line should be straight (it is best to use a ruler).

6. Mark the place names. Mark the position and let the reader know what he sees. Important landforms such as mountains, rivers and landmarks should be marked.

7. Draw a legend. Readers can understand the meanings of colors, marks and line segments on the map. Gradient can be used to indicate altitude and ocean depth. If you use icons to represent geographical elements, be sure to be consistent throughout the map.

I. Maps

1 is a graph or image that selectively represents some phenomena of the earth (or other planets) on a plane or a sphere in two-dimensional or multi-dimensional forms and means according to certain laws.

2. It has strict mathematical foundation, symbol system and text annotation, and can scientifically reflect the distribution characteristics of natural and socio-economic phenomena and their relationship by using the principle of map synthesis.

Second, the map function

1, cognitive function, can form a whole, global concept, that is, to establish a clear spatial location of geographical information. Obtain qualitative and quantitative characteristics of the object. Establish the spatial relationship between features and features or phenomena. It is easy to establish a correct spatial image.

2. Analog function. Conceptual model is a generalization and abstraction of entities, which can be divided into image model and symbol model. Image model is a simplification and generalization of objective existence by using thinking ability. Symbol model is a process of simplifying and abstracting objective existence by using symbols and graphics.

3. Loading function, map information: Direct information refers to geographical information represented on the map, such as roads, river networks, residential areas, etc. , directly represented by graphical symbols. Indirect information is information about the law of phenomena or things obtained through analysis and interpretation.

4. Transfer function. Maps are also a very good tool to convey spatial information. Another important feature of a map is its transferability.

5. Maps are layered, parallel and even spatial when transmitting information. Compared with linear transmission mode, it has wider transmission channel and higher transmission efficiency.
