Colored pencils are ideal for the intricate details of the sextant and map. Fine-tip markers can add crispness to the lines. Gel pens or metallic markers work well for highlights on metal components. Watercolors can create soft washes for the background wood.
Start with the largest wooden areas using light, even strokes. Use a limited palette of 3-4 colors for the main elements. Focus on staying within the lines on the map. Take breaks to maintain focus on intricate details.
Use metallic pens or pencils for the sextant's brass and steel components, adding highlights and shadows for realism. Employ cross-hatching or stippling for wood grain textures. Blend sepia and muted tones for an aged map effect. Consider subtle gradients on the lenses.
