Hand Drawn Map of the Virgin Islands.
I drew the original Virgin Islands chart in India ink on D'Arches paper and layered a watercolor wash over it. I've repeated a style here that I'd created for my Thai chart using two side columns, giving more room for embellishments while still playing within the boundaries of cartography.
In the drawing, I've included the Tortola Sloop, sailing ships, and most bays - especially odd favorites like 'Throw Away Wife Bay' off of Great Camanoe Island (some names make you wonder). And to represent the trade winds, I have drawn a misty Saint Ursula with a lamp for her virgin followers.
I've included; reefs, shoals and drops, pelicans, magnificent frigatebirds, sea turtles, a nurse shark, a spotted eagle ray, a bottlenose dolphin, and more sea life, mixed in with my mermaids and sea monsters. And to satisfy a request from my serious gamefish hunting friends, I've included more game fish and favorite fishing spots in this chart.
