A legend is added to the drawing. Retouched the drawing to lessen the dark areas. Instead of colouring the sand as orange, used stippling pattern to make the layer blend in better. The vegetation colour is also adjusted to lighter green.

Scale 3: Iteration 1
_______________________________________________________________________

Scale 3: Additional Pictures
These are the pictures taken along the Irrawaddy River which is the river in scale 2. 
_______________________________________________________________________
Scale 3: Iteration 2
For the scale 3, I chose light blue colour to overlay on the personal scale. After tweaking the capacity and colour, the pictures have light blue as an overlay colour.
_______________________________________________________________________
Scale 3: Finalisation Part A
In the first drawing, the base water map of scale 2 is layered and added a 30% opacity of light blue in order to make the pictures blend in. Finally in the second drawing, I added a picture with a opacity of 25% to emphasise the importance of the river for the villages living along the river as these people depend on the products of Irrawaddy river.

_______________________________________________________________________
Scale 3: Finalisation Part B
The previous drawing of scale 3 seems to be in good condition in term of colour, but the river and it's layers are missing. Therefore, the drawing of the river is brought up front, added some saturations on the drawing which finally makes the sketch pops up.
_______________________________________________________________________
Scale 4: Act of Care
A poem for Irrawaddy river will mainly focus on the lives which are dependent on the river. Using nouns and adjectives, the poem will be shaped in peace logo to emphasise how peaceful the river is. The words that will be used for the poem relate to the situation of the river.
