"Traveller" - Adrian's 21st Gift

I thought I better put some more stuff up here, so here is a few more pieces I have done, 

This ones called "traveller", its quite a large canvass, about 1200mmx1200mm

It was given to my brother for a belated 21st gift from me and took quite some time to plan and complete. I gave it to him because he is a keen traveler and it's colours on a white background would (and do) go well with his dark feature wall. 

This is stage 1 - the drawing of the outlines. 

Keeping it in proportion was difficult ... 

But it all got done with patience .. 

I didn't want to separate the countries at their borders which are straight and rigid (and ugly) so I drew inspiration from heatmaps which eb and flow gradually and it really just flowed out onto the canvass. This was the quickest step, and I completed it in one sitting. 

 This is the completed work, up against his wall, above his bed.
