New face here!

[Ruiisu]

Hello fellow cartographers and map makers! I am here to call myself your apprentice and absorve all your knowladge like a sponge.

Allow me to introduce myself. You may call me as Ruiisu, I am a Portuguese 19 year old and I just started playing D&D as a DM. As a result I felt the desire to create my own world, along, of course, with its lore and civilizations and so on. After writing many many bullet points about the dieties and civs I started handdrawing the world map, and it was challenging, but oh boy did it feel just right for me. This was the first time I ever drew a map and I was having tons of fun, both creating the world and its geography. So, the next obvious course of action is to join the Cartographer's Guild, as I want to expand my world with city and regional maps, villages, dungeons... and draw many more maps!

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!!
