I’ve been making a few of these style maps recently, I did New England and Scotland previously for fun. Europe was a bigger challenge due to the scale of the place and the fairly complicated coastlines and water features. Particularly around Finland and Sweden (why you have so many lakes?). The whole thing took around 6 hours total.
If you want more like this, let me know! You can download the high resolution version below for free, and likewise If you want to know how these are made click the other link below for a general outline:
Instead of trying to label everything accurately, this time I’ve stuck to some islands, most capital cities, and the main mountain ranges as it is supposed to be mostly a geographical map - the density of European borders don’t lend themselves nicely to maps at this resolution.
Fair to say there are some issues with text legibility in this - if I started again I’d vary text colour to stand out against mountain ranges - things are only really readable at around 100% zoom. I might come back to this later on and clean things up a bit.
