Have you ever tried drawing a map to look like it's night time? Might be an interesting tutorial, or at least challenge...
Also, I think a thing on drawing clouds in empty spaces, over water, etc, would be great, is definitely something that shows up on a lot of older/fantasy maps. Just a few ideas

Have you seen those warriors from hammerfell? They have curved swords! CURVED. SWORDS!

I'm currently writing a book right now, but I need to draw a map for it. This is so helpful, thank you so much.

I can't unsee that the Dwarven settlement, looks like a really angry bird looking at me. I'm so sorry.

But I have gotten many great ideas to work with on my not yet existing maps! -They will come, when I finally get my courage up to brew a campaign for DND from scratch. =D

@nightmare3711 8 years ago

I personally like to just draw flags with the name beneath it. It looks really nice imo

@b_olson542 6 years ago

I would love to see your take on an underworld map. That would be inspiring.

@Ponninftw 7 years ago

that dwarven settlement looks like something out of Angry Brids

If you want a map to look cool, draw it big and reduce it on a copy machine -- I suggest 80% to 60% reduction

@Pijetlo91 8 years ago

I use the little black squares for cities, starts for capital cities and the diamond for forts / other exotic places when ever I use a big map, like an entire continent.
However, in my new campaign I plan for my PCs to find a more detailed map of the area and I plan to use the 2nd column with the little towers, just because it is a smaller area. So thanks a lot for sharing Nate :)

One always wonders why medieval fantasy towns lack ecclesiastical buildings... ;-)

what the normal eye sees: dwarven city

what my eyes see: angry triangle man

@unfathomabldedepths 8 years ago

Thanks WASD20, I've been struggling with drawing cities on my maps!

@OscarAEst 8 years ago

Great video! Could you make a video about roads in the future

@dylanbuttigieg5870 6 years ago

Dwarven city looks a bit like a mountain with a face. I like it lol

@mikey1393drago 8 years ago

Nice ideas Nate. Anything can work. Could you make a video on how to draw canyons, valleys and gorges please? I'm making a map for my sister, but I've never done canyons or gorges before. Thanks.
