[Award Winner] Hand-Drawn Mapping (for the Artistically Challenged)

[Gidde]

Ah, that's a good point. The map I had based it on had a couple and that's how I treated them, but they were pretty big, so that could be why it worked for them. The good news is that you knew what to do when the tut didn't quite fit your map

Edit: Bonked you as well, for posting your first map

Here is my first effort with this tutorial :-)

Thanks so much for sharing this for us all to benefit from - I never thought I would be capable of something like this - and without you taking the effort to document the process I would not be!

The only part of this excellent tutorial that confused me was where Gidde changed an earlier step to set a layer mode to multiply, which caused the steps on page 23 to not function correctly. Gidde corrected this step in the thread above - I have included this in the attached PDF using Gidde's instructions in the thread so that a complete PDF is available if anyone would like it.

Basically the only change is to keep the background layer visible at this point in the tutorial and convert all white to transparency after the merge.

Gidde I hope you dont mind me modifying your PDF for this step?

Great tutorial! This really helped.

lol...this looked like my only hope for a tutorial for selecting medium for a hand drawn map. This is a tutorial for a not hand drawn map made to look hand drawn. We should be saying "hand drawn", lol. I kept waiting for someone to say they actually used a stylus so it was extra authentic.

I'm going to have to try this when it comes time for me to make a pretty version of my map!
