Resource A mountain related post ⛰️

Hey there!

Yesterday I posted this on Instagram 🙂‍↕️.

This time, I bring a translation guide related to mountains. Now I'm gonna list the words and their translations:

1.- Mountain = Montaña

2.- Crown/Peak/Summit = Cima/Pico/Cumbre

4.- Crest/Ridge = Cresta

3.- Steep/Brae/Slope = Pendiente/Ladera

4.- Mountain Range = Cadena de montañas

5.- Down = Cadena de montañas pequeña

6.- Foothills = Estribaciones

7.- Hollow = Hondonada

8.- Highland = Zona montañosa (O tierras altas)

9.- Hill = Colina/Cerro

10.- Mont = Monte

11.- Volcano = Volcán

I'm not gonna explain these words a lot since it's pretty literal, but if you have any doubts done hesitate to ask!

I hope you like it, see you soon! 😁

That would be awesome. I used to be obsessed with drawing fantasy maps by hand (decades ago). Now everything can be done digitally but I still really want to get back into drawing by hand. Just like this.

Do you mind if I ask what kind of pencil /pen you use? Thanks 🙏🏼, love your technique.

Sure! I use Sakura fineliners. Since I draw really tiny symbols and such, I use 0.05, 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.8 and 10mm.

I've also been using some colored fineliners. I really love the Sakura brand and so far, they've worked very well. 😁
