Thanks for the tutorial Hapimeses. you technique is something I *USED* to do when I would just doodle map ideas many years ago using a pencil and paper. Then I forgot all about it years later when I began making maps using the computer! Silly me! :-) Thank you for reminding me of this simple, yet quite effective technique. I would love to see an "advanced mountains" tutorial showing some other mountain making methods with more complex results. Any chance of a second tutorial?
