Forest representations

[Deadshade]

I created this tutorial for a cartographer challenge and realized now that I had forgotten to post it in the tutorial section.
I didn't want to make an Nth tutorial about a specific technique for a given forest representation but rather an encyclopedia like analytic tutorial about all possible forest representations.
The motivation was that I have always been interested by the very important cartographic relationship between scales and representations.

My ambition was that if you watch any map and seee a forest represented on it, you will find its category in the tutorial with an explanation how, under what conditions and why it works.
All comments are welcome and I hope that the interested reader will find inspiration inside.

Thanks for this I've been having a crisis on hand drawing forest. This is really helpful

I'm new to the Guild and only joined because I want to learn to draw maps of fictional places--so, all of these tutorials are just fantastic! Thank you so much for taking the time :-)
