Hello everyone, I am pretty new here and also pretty new to making maps digitally. I thought I would go big to start off. This is my world of Kaldera, it's the campaign world that my group and I have been using as our adventure setting for about close to 20 years so there is an abundance of lore but this is the first attempt in at least 10 years to make a complete world map. This is all pretty much freehand drawing, I traced a little from a hand drawn map to get the coastlines and messed with stretching it out a little but that is pretty much it. I just recently got GIMP and have used that to touch up a little, draw some river and add some green spaces but I am a total novice. I don't exactly understand the concept of "layering" and it's slow going for me. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. Really anything that would help me. I see a lot of great maps on here and I am really surprised at the level of quality that is possible with these programs. Thanks!
