Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Open the brush dialog box thingy and mess around with the settings on a basic one (chalk or whatnot) and then mess around some more with different possibilities for the dual brush, set it to wet blending (or whatsit called) and then make sure to save the variant when you get something you like. The spacing, scatter, and angle were the things I messed with the most. Actually, I think the dual brush was a tree or something like that, haha!
