    Wip Barovia, Ravenloft (hand-drawn, ink only)

    Greetings!

    I was asked to draw a map of Barovia. The campaign to Ravenloft (The Curse of Strahd) is being published for the first time in Poland, so the players asked me to make a detailed map. I've taken up the challenge, especially since there is no good map of Barovia.

    I relied on Ravenloft Gazetteer (general map layout) and my own imagination and knowledge (the details).

    For the first time I decided to draw a map using the inks and nibs only.
    And for the first time I use a magnifying glass when drawing.


    A detail with a dice to show the scale.

    A magnifying glass with backlighting makes work easier.

    Inks and nibs. I don't think I'll ever pick up the markers again.
