One of my life’s passions is to travel the world and thus I was inspired to create this series based on some of my favourite cities that I’ve had the great pleasure to visit. Created in Adobe Photoshop, I painstakingly pieced together maps from google and then traced over, including the roads, rivers and districts of these beloved cities.

A gallery showing the developments of the piece, From the base tracing, to adding the rivers, parks and district filling. Etching the roads with different weights of line for major and minor roads and finishing with the colour editing and the text. I've used my London map for this example:
I started of the map by collating a series of google map images and layering them over each other to create a giant map of the city. I then used this to trace over the image and add the rivers, roads, parks and districts of the city. Originally layering each individual district so that I could colour them separately. From this I could add a variety of colours to emphases the different features of the city.
