New in the Cartographer's world

Hi Arsheesh! Thank you so much
Well yeah i just started drawing and putted some effects with ps, and it worked out quite nice.
As for the moutnains, you're absolutely right, and then to think that I wanted to make even more of them, it's so hard to make realistic mountains.
I already removed the snowy mountains and am now trying to make them again, but more in a "line".
Your maps are amazing! How did you learn that all?

Torstan has some good tutorials for hand drawings mountains that may be of use to you in the thread Assorted Tips and Tricks. Pretty much all I know about creating maps in a photorealistic style came from a combination of scouring tutorials here and then my own trial and error. If you spend some time going through the tutorials section you'll find all sorts of helpful material here. I found Ascention and RobA's tutorials very useful when I first arrived at the Guild and since then quite a few other useful tutorials have been written. As to hand drawn stuff (what little of it I've done), I grew up sketching as a hobby, though I sort of let it slip in college and am now trying to get back into it.

Cheers,
