Manteo sits on Roanoke Island, home of the famous Lost Colony story. Because of that rich history, the town is full of landmarks to discover. Similarly, its waterfront and shops make it a favorite stop for Outer Banks visitors.
Where to Start
Start with the border, then build the most recognizable landmarks, since it stands out right away. Next, work on the waterfront and boats. After that, piece together the streets and smaller buildings. Finally, fill in the sky and water, sorting those pieces by shade.
