Hello~

[aocchi]

Hello, I'm aocchi. I'm a writer who lives in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Right now, I'm planning to write a fantasy story and need anything I can get to build my story's world. First thing first, I need a map, so I want to learn from this forum how to draw a good map.

Thank you. (Sorry about my broken english. I'm not really used to it since it's not my primary language).

Hi, aocchi - welcome to the Guild!

Don’t worry about your English - it is perfectly understandable. Look in the tutorials section for help with how to use certain styles and methods. A good way to learn is to start a work-in-progress (WIP) thread and show us stages of work, asking questions as you go.

Will your story demand a whole world map, or a city, or something in between? Do you have favorite styles you would like to copy?

Do you already know how to use any graphics software? Or do you want to use paper and ink/ paint/ pencils? Digital maps are more common on the Guild, but a number of us use physical materials also or only.
