    So I need to figure out how to put this in glorious color. Can that be done using Gimp? If anyone has knowledge as how I should go about doing this, sharing your knowledge would be appreciated. I want to keep the hand-drawn effect, so I would add in a simple tan-paperish background and include light colors.
    The best maps are the ones we like the most after looking at the longest.

    The easiest way to colourize a map in either Gimp or Photoshop is to take your lineart, and set the layer mode to Multiple. Then create a new (tan-paperish) background layer BELOW that, and paint on the background layer (or for better control, on additional transparent layers between the background and line-work layers).
