Hello,

There was a black and white map made by RobA a while ago which had a type of grey shadow/shading which I liked. I was wondering if anybody could tell me roughly how to create such an effect? It is the shadow around the inside of the coast line and around mountains and forests:

It looks like some sort of texture has been used, and then the shadow has been painted in by hand? I am still learning (very slowly) how to use digital art programs, so the simplest explanation would be most welcome (even if it might seem very obvious!).

Many thanks.
