    Default General Map Making Steps

    Hello CG! I have just started to make maps and I am feeling kind of lost in the process of it all. I was curious on what your general process was when making a map? I have found a few articles/tutorials and they all usually follow the same steps after determining what you want to make, but most just focus on one step. I was wondering what general step you follow? Do you do land masses, mountains, rivers, lakes/rivers and other land regions. Then do the finishing textures like texture and what not? Or something else? One more thing, what is a good document size to start on? I have attached the map that I am currently working on.
