    Question How do I paint sand/desert in black and white?

    I made a map doodle and wasn't sure how to draw a desert in my style. Do you have any ideas?
    Here's the map (the desert is in the bottom right):

    I usually handle it with dunes. See the middle left, the "Endless Erg" for how I handled it. Your solution looks fine though!
