Thread: Looking for good hand-drawn shaded relief guides/tutorials or tips

    Default Looking for good hand-drawn shaded relief guides/tutorials or tips

    Currently working on a map where I intend to use shaded-relief. Its an hand-drawn map, and I plan on colouring it, simultaneously using colouring for the relief and general land climate, in an otherwise classical atlas map.

    Problem is, I dont have a lot of experience working with shaded-relief, and would love for good guides on achieving this. I've been trawling the forums here for one, but I haven't been very sucessful. Could find very nice examples on the internet, at least shadedrelief website, but thats it.
    Can anyone point me out to anything? Or have some tips?

    This link is included within the links above, which are great resources, http://www.shadedreliefarchive.com/, a good quick reference for scanned, manually shaded maps.

    For a step-by-step process (in timelapse!), check out creating a hand-drawn shaded relief. Though, they are using an existing hillshade for reference. A follow-up post includes notes on using color. May be helpful

    The artist also gave a talk about the color shaded relief process at NACIS 2019 (lots of other interesting talks there as well): https://youtu.be/A9rxd-FDx9E

    Thank you! Those two later links are exactly the kind of stuff I was looking for! Really points out the specifities of technique used there. The other links I did already knew, though I'm also currently trawling through them again.
