Building Skills With an Unnamed Region Map – January 13, 2020 at 10:11AM

Hello. I’m new to cartography and this is one of my first attempts at a region map using GIMP. I’ve played with brushes and the like before, but I find it hard to get the look I’m going for with the assets I can find, so I decided to build my own drawing skills. I started on this map late last night and stayed up all night tweaking it and trying to find a style I could accomplish that looks alright.

I’m primarily interested in black and white or greyscale maps at the moment. Everything on this map currently was accomplished with nothing but the paintbrush tool. GIMP is so much more capable than that, but I found a groove with this relatively simple approach and I’m kind of liking how it’s turning out.
