Hey Guys!

So this is the first time I've actually ever done a map before and I really wanted to make a map for the dnd campaign I'm running. As such, I've been lurking these forums for a while trying to get whatever information I can. Fast forward in time, finally got around to making a map and it has begun! All of this is done on photoshop, I don't really have any of the other programs sadly. So far all I've done is the ocean, added some mountains and snow on said mountains. Still planning on adding vegetation, deserts, a polar region, and a necrotic....dead zone in the southern continent.

I'm still having some struggle with adding vegetation and the other things mentioned above, so any tips on a way to add polar region, vegetation, and a necrotic dead zone (I really have no idea how I'd even go about that) would be awesome. Currently I'm following Saderan and Jezelf tutorial, but I'm using photoshop CS6, so those tutorials are a bit outdated (but they're awesome and got me this far).
