Hand-drawn African maps

Is that the country that had the dictator with the funny hat?

Probably not

Zambia and Botswana better. So are Ghana and Ivory Coast. Honorary mentions to, Morocco.

The islands to the east are great, 9/10. The western islands are Portuguese, 10/10.

Honestly, Nigeria, South Africa and Egypt can do better, unnoble.

(Also, Namibia and Angola are also noble.)

Quite. Well I was bound to forget something.

@Carking the 6th challenged me to draw a map of Africa with borders and stuff. He failed to specify whether I was allowed to use a proper map as a reference, so I first did one from memory and then a better one with the help of Google Maps.

Apologies for the photo quality; I have an actually good camera but was too lazy to dig it out, so you can nobly try to read my now-blurry handwriting.

Here is the good one I did with references:

With zoomed-in images because this is a pain to read:

It's still not great because it didn't occur to me to sketch in some of the borders lightly before filling in all of them, resulting in some countries like Ethiopia being wildly off scale.

And here is the one I did from memory:

I know it's bad. While I was drawing it I could tell some things were off but didn't know how to fix them without making it worse.

I don't think I'll be ready for the 1700s follow-up challenge from memory, as I know next to nothing about African history.

Next we need @Zaktty to do a hand-drawn map of the British isles from memory with all major cities labelled and exact borders

Interesting stuff yes. It was very interesting when Algeria and the Middle East got stabbed meanwhile the rest of the continent was practically perfect.
