I Painted A World Map Full Of Animals In My Little Nephew’s Room

ADVERTISEMENT

Of course, I could easily find one on Ebay or Etsy and simply stick it on the wall, but… It’s for my nephew and I want it to give him something more personal!

So I took my brush and did my best.

RELATED:

    I start with a pencil for the outline and use the same paint color for the map as the 3 others walls and the ceiling

    I can tell on this picture that I will need more than one layer

    So many little islands in the Northwest territories

    Details and the 2nd layer

    I use google images to draw animals in pencil

    Color time!

    I put the most possible details without losing the cartoon/baby ideas

    Using only two colors wasn’t enough, I put some shadow and light

    I hope baby won’t be too afraid

    I just love the water effect on this one

    Australia!

    America, with the Google Map and ¨Rose des vents¨

    Greenland

    Africa

    There you go, nephew!

    Final result, hope you like it!

    I love the google maps style pointer to show where she lives and shows where she'll always be welcome

    That's cool, but it is missing several animals in South America, especially in Brazil.
