Draw a world map

Draw a Map of the World

Combination of marker and water-based brush pens

To coincide with Earth Hour on March 26, Ludmila Blum has created a step-by-step tutorial to help you draw your own world map.

But what exactly is Earth Hour?

Earth Hour has been around for 13 years now and was originally launched by the WWF organization and its partners. The idea behind it is simple: all over the world, the lights are switched off for one hour to draw attention to environmental and climate protection.

Want to find out more? Then take a look here.

Step 1: Transfer world map

Your world map does not have to correspond exactly to reality. However, the outlines you can download here will give you a good orientation. Trace them onto your paper with a pencil without applying too much pressure. A light pad is particularly suitable for this, but you can also use a window or a glass table with a bright lamp underneath.

Step 2: Colored border

Choose the darker pencil of each of your color pairs and paint the inner edge of the continents using small, circular movements. Try not to paint over the edge. Change the color from continent to continent.

Step 3: Gentle color gradient

Now choose the matching, lighter color for each continent and paint another, lighter band towards the middle. Lightly paint over part of the already painted area to create a gentle color gradient. You can leave the middle of each continent white or color it in completely.

Tipp

For colors that differ more, it is worth using a little trick to achieve an even smoother color gradient. To do this, press the tip of the lighter pencil into the darker one to absorb some of its color. Then use this mixture to paint in the color transition between light and dark.

Don't worry: it won't damage your pencils and the darker color will come out of the tips.

The transition to the white paper is even smoother with the colorless blender. Use it to paint over the edge in gentle circular movements to thin out the paint application.

When you have finished coloring all the continents, your picture should look something like this:

Step 4: Water flow

Now use the flexible brush tip of the water-based Tombow ABT Brush Pen to trace the outer edge of all the continents. Leave a small gap to the colored continents and only paint about half a centimeter towards the middle of the sea with small, circular movements.
