Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

But a lot of people here do! That's what the forum is for, for answering that exact question. Which is slightly more complicated, since that fickle little sucker called taste comes peeking around the corner. Go look at what people here create, and figure out what you like, and try to look for tutorials on how to do that in the appropriate sections. This forum really is a treasure chest for people who want to artistically map things... I hope you have fun and that you manage to answer that last question by yourself.
