I'm a little confused. For the uppermost building, shouldn't the larger section be on the right, and the smaller on the left? That's how the roof is...
EDIT: Nevermind, I see the overhang.

That's actually a good point though - that roof overhang would likely need to be supported by something. There should be at least one wooden post outdoors under the overhang in the first-floor view.Originally Posted by jkat718
Can you post a version including your square grid laid over it? I'm assuming you're going with the standard 1':5". In that case I think your crop rows are too short. Someone who farms for a living (meaning he or she can support the family and still have surplus to barter for tools, milling services, textiles, etc.) would have crop rows longer than the 10-20' yours seem to be.
Don't be too hard on yourself though - it's a really nice map for someone working with basic tools.
Here's the 'finished' version, with furnishings and grid.
I had trouble finding an opacity or color for the grid that looked nice outside but was also visible on the floor interior. Also having the rug over the grid bugs me, but aside from that this is essentially complete.
As far as the grid goes its 35x35 pixels, normally I do 70x70 as it's the size used on Roll20.net but I kept it smaller for this because this map was for practice and smaller size just made the work quicker.

I think the grid opacity you have right now is fine, Dread. Why can't you have the grid run over the rug? Also, some sort of support system for the top building's overhang would make the map easier to understand.
EDIT: It looks like you have chimneys on the roofs, but I don't see fireplaces in the houses. Am I mis-seeing the furniture?
