    Post French greetings

    Hi there ! Name's Camille. I'm French, 21, actively looking for a job and trying to get my driver's license. In between all of that I'm an avid reader, a movie and TV shows enthusiast, and I enjoy writing and drawing and, occasionally, gaming. I've always loved fantasy, especially through Tolkien's and C.S. Lewis' books, as well as sci-fi.

    I've always been more or less interested in cartography, and I've been reading through this forum for a few months now, trying not to drool too much over the beautiful maps you guys keep posting and heavily looking through the tutorial section-- even though I've never tried making a map yet (but that's just a matter of time).

    And I think that's all ? I believe so. With love !

    Hello Camille, Welcome to the Guild!

    To get you started, 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!!

    The river tutorial is a lifesaver actually, I've made so many mistakes on my first (rather bad) attempts at mapping

    I do hope I'll be able to post my first WIP soon ! There are so many great tutorials and the community seems so helpful, I hope I'll get the hang of it in the next year
