The Art of Map Illustration by Quarto Books Teaches Mapmaking Skills
Have you ever wonder just how maps are formed, constructed and created? Here is a unique and exciting insight into mapping.
In The Art of Map Illustration, four well-known artists take you on a journey through their unique techniques to mapmaking with a range of media, including pen and ink, watercolor, and mixed media, plus tips and advice for working digitally.
Packed with engaging instruction, professional tips, and beautiful finished artwork, this is the perfect resource for contemporary artists seeking to learn the time-treasured art form of cartography.
I have a colleague who’s son is interested in mapping with graphic, digital design and this book was the perfect way to give him new perspectives and insight. This would make a wonderful grad gift for the soon-to-be college bound student interested in art, graphic design and mapping.
Created by By James Gulliver Hancock, Hennie Haworth, Stuart Hill and Sarah King, it sells for $19.99 and is available on Quarto Books.
