The world from recollection
Blank paper and pencil crayons usually lead to foliage and large cats. This time I decided to draw as much of the world as possible from memory, and found the results noteworthy.
Drawn with pencil crayon, touched up in Photoshop
The equator (drawn first, and edited out in Ps) provided perspective. In order I drew Africa, South America, North America, the Mediterranean, south Asia, Australia, Europe and finally northern Asia. The hardest part was trying to remember what the northern European countries like Sweden and Scandinavia look like.
I would like to do this in a vector program so that I could go into infinite detail, but that would probably consume more time than it's worth. Never the less it would be uber-cool to have a complete picture of my knowledge of the world I live in.

Tazmania, I apologize. Never again will I forget you. Why doesn't Australia have any major rivers? I never noticed that before.

Scandinavia is not a country.

Huh, I guess not. Turns out that it is a good word to describe the region though.
