Very good idea, Max! This thread has already proven to be useful! Thanks for the insights into your work.

Do you draw all your mountains individually or are you using cloning?

Thanks guys Mountains are drawn individually here.

And is everything drawn using a tablet or most of it on paper than scanned ? If it's on tablet would you mind sharing your settings on your brush ?

Everything's drawn using a tablet. As for the brushes settings, I don't use the same depending on what I want to do or the brush I use but basically I use some standard setting (pressure control, sometimes opacity control) with a basic hard round brush for almost all my outlining work.

Thank you for starting this thread and sharing some of your workflow with us Max! I really like the look of the rock formations in the first post. The finished Coats of Arms and the sea monster look gorgeous too. I find the tips you've posted here very useful. Thank you again!

If you don't mind me asking, what kind of tablet do you use Max? I used to have a wacom intuos 3 but sold it. Now I'm getting back into digital drawing and am thinking about buying a new wacom tablet.

@JonPin : I use an Intuos4.
