This mapping project is turning into more of a learn-more-photoshopping-skillz-by-mucking-about-experience but I'm not complaining.
I drew some trees on graph paper and scanned them to make some tree brushes (first time ever), and I'm thinking of doing the same for the mountains. I drew some river outlines, both using the pen tool and a hard brush. Then did the same thing for roads. The roads I then selected and stroked them in a different layer.
I still don't know where I'm going but I'm quite happy just wandering around
