![]() ![]() The next step is to reproject the data for each gore to the shape it must have to fit a globe. The data would still be unprojected (or in Plate Carrée) at this point. ![]() A laborious process which would benefit from scripting, for which I would recommend either Global Mapper or Manifold. The next step is to cut this source data into vertical sections-areas, lines, points-one for each data source and each gore. (Data in a Plate Carrée projection is fine unprojected data has the same shape on page or screen but is in terms of different units, and it is more widely available.) The best starting point is raw unprojected data. ![]() If you do decide to go from "finished" artwork to gores, the comments below about projections would still apply. I haven't done it that way, and I tend think it would be more work than starting from the other end, but I might be wrong. Having said that, you *could* do this in MAPublisher for Illustrator, with clever use of multiple artboards and multiple Map Views, each having a different projection. Creating a map, including labels, then attempting to reproject it into gores would give you headaches. Calligraphers and graphite and colored pencil artists choose either surface, depending on personal preference.In my opinion this workflow sketch is backwards. Artists who work in a drawing medium that requires some "tooth" to the surface, such as charcoal, crayon, or pastel, also tend to prefer cold press. Sharper detail can be reproduced from its smooth surface.Ĭold press board is slightly textured, and is usually favored when a brush is used, as for watercolor, gouache, acrylic, and tempera. Graphic design applications also tend to favor a hot-press surface, especially when adhesive wax, adhesive film, rubber cement, or transfer lettering is used. Hot press boards produce sharper and finer lines. Artists who work with airbrush, markers, or pen-and-ink often favor a hot press surface. Hot press board is smoother, and is generally slightly more expensive for a given size and weight. Hot press boards are great when wanting to create detailed work, such as fine lines.īlick also offers a variety of mixed media boards that have canvas, watercolor paper, or even primed surfaces to accept a variety of media. Hot Press Illustration Board has a smooth surface that works well with pen and ink, markers and airbrush. The textured surface helps the media adhere easily to the surface. Media that require a toothy or textured finish, such as charcoal or pastels, are best suited for vellum surface bristol board or boards and panels designed specifically for accepting multiple layers of color.Ĭold Press Illustration Board has a slightly textured surface that works well a variety of media, including acrylic paint, charcoal, watercolor, tempera, pastels, and more. ![]() Smooth bristol board has a flat, untextured surface for work with pencils, pen-and-ink, markers, gouache, and acrylics. Bristol board is thinner than illustration board, has two usable sides, and is also available in smooth or vellum finishes. The better quality bristol boards are archival. A bristol board is usually lighter in weight and is intended for longer term use and preservation. Great for paint as well as drawing media. Ideal for finished work and reproduction, illustration board has only one usable side and comes in both hot and cold press varieties, suitable for pen-and-ink, graphite, light watercolor washes, charcoal, colored pencils, mixed media, and even acrylics or gouache.īristol Board provides two working surfaces, front and back. Illustration board is a thick board with paper affixed to a rigid backing. Blick offers a wide selection of boards and panels for art, illustration, mixed media, and more. ![]()
