Voolf's miscellaneous art

[Ilanthar]

I did not find another way than hand drawing to get something that satisfies me (I tried a lot, though).
It's indeed a difficult exercise. I must confess I dropped partly the contour lines (I tend to add them afterward).
I found that determine the ridge line then work from the coastlines & rivers, narrowing to the ridge line is a good way to proceed, at least for me.

Thank you for this invaluable advice. At some point I wa also thinking I made mistake starting from mountains. (habit of drawing regular fantasy maps)
I think I will start anew from coastlines and rivers. After all rivers will help me with right elevation shaping too.
