As much as I hate to discourage a potential mapmaker... I've never seen two such awful sketches in a row. The first one was a straight bad concept, but this is just mangling a good idea.
i'm sure coleman that those videos are great (i know such an example with a guy that draws a red car in paint) but they don't load for me.
anyway the thing is none of us have those skills. if we did have that drawing skills we still wouldn't be using paint. imagine skills like that + fireworks+photoshop = great maps.
