    Post Hello Mapper World

    Hi,

    My name is Kevin, I am venturing into the world of map making. Mainly for creating D&D 5e maps and the like...

    I have the Adobe suite, so that is mainly what I am looking at using (photoshop and illustrator). So if you have some tips or something that works well for those I would be interested in hearing about it.

    Not really sure what else is important... Thanks in advance!

    Kevin

    Hello Kevin, Welcome to the Guild!

    There is a great tutorial in the sticky section of Tutorials, called Quickstart Guide to Fantasy Mapping: http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=4276

    From there, go to Hand Drawn Mapping for the Artistically Challenged: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...ad.php?t=10655

    Once you have completed those two tutorials, you'll be well on your way!!

    Hi Kevin! Chick's got the right links to get you started. My advice is to pick a small project and start posting your work-in-progress as soon as possible. You'll get great feedback as you go.

    Are you looking to do world and region maps for a game? Battle maps? Towns? Everything?

    You're at the right place. Welcome to the Cartographer's Guild.
