Drawing Notes:

This country is along the Mediterranean Sea which is the northern boundary (top of page). On the east the straightest boundary is with Libya. Moving westward, the first line represents the Nile River which flows from the south out of Lake Nubia / Lake Nasser to the Mediterranean Sea.

The G in row 3 beside the Nile River is Cairo, the capital city. The right boarder starts along Israel then follows the Red Sea. This map also highlights the Hala’ib Triangle and Bir Tawil areas to the south-east.

Drawing Notes:

This is a simple outline of Italy. I like the look of a tall boot that it reminds me of, the old style “Musketeers” boot with the heavy rim on top that you see in old movies.

Drawing Notes:

Scotland is a country surrounded by water on three sides with England as the south-western border. The islands of Orkney and the Shetland Islands are to the north-east of the mainland and did not fit on this drawing. I have used the following markers:

Row 4 – the L identifies the Isle of Lewis;

Row 8 – the S identifies the Isle of Skye;

Row 13 – the M identifies the Isle of Mull;

Row 16 – the G identifies the city of Glasgow and the E identifies the city of Edinburgh;

Row 17 – the I identifies the isle of Islay.

Fun Facts:

Scotland has approximately 790 islands, some of which are uninhabited. I did not attempt to draw them all.

Scotland is home to the oldest tree in Europe, a twisted yew that is 3,000 years old.

Edinburgh was the first city in the world to have its own fire brigade, and it has more listed buildings than anywhere else in the world.

Glasgow used to be one of the largest cities in the world, and it was a major center of the Industrial Revolution.

Scotland’s own website says Scotland is best known for whiskey and golf.

Drawing Notes:

Africa is drawn as it would be depicted on a map. That means north is at the top of the page and south is at the bottom of the page. East is always the right side of the page and west is the left side of the page. The island of Madagascar is shown to the south-east as it is considered part of this continent.

Africa is a continent with the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the Mediterranean Sea is along the north, the Red Sea boarders the north-east with the Arabian Sea also touching along the east. The Indian Ocean completes the boarder on the south-east.

Fun Facts:

There are 54 countries on the Continent, and the people speak more than two thousand languages.

Africa is our hottest continent.
