What if I really want to use a banana for determining the scale? (cmon, let's be real, you came here to talk about the drawing of a banana)

In last week's drawing, I intentionally left the tip of the coloring pencil, to achieve that. But now I decided to add a couple of notches to the drawing: on the bottom, two notches are set 1" apart, and the rectangular thing at the top is 1cm wide. That should do it, right?

About the micro-map itself... I'm not convinced about the cobblestones. At least these take a lot less time to draw than previous attempts. Still experimenting.

Quick remark, if the lines on the bottom are 1 inch then the cube on top is one cm=10 mm. It does help to scale your tiny maps tho
