[Award Winner] Tutorial & Guide for Hand Drawn Maps (Pen & Ink w/ Photoshop)

[Highlander]

Hey, out of curiosity, have you ever considered writing a book about this? If you wrote it in a similar way that you do your tutorials, I'm positive that there would be a sizable market; for example, when I tell people that I make maps, they're impression is "Hey, that's cool, I'd like to do that!"

Check out Lulu sometime, if you're interested. It's a very nice self publishing company.

You know that I loves me some old school pen and ink and these practice sessions are awesome...I haven't done them in years. Thanks man! And that book isn't a half bad idea...look at all the junk on the shelves at the bookstore about how to draw Anime. But maybe there'd have to be some other stuff in there as well in order to "bulk" it up and charge 50 bucks.

Wow I gotta say this tutorial was awesome. You know your techniques are good for digital too if you have the right stuff. I just got CC3 thanks to my Dad and a writing tablet (wow what more could a kid ask for right). I'm gonna get started on doing some of those tutorials and seeing what I can come up with and finally post a map on here. Been far too long.

Great job so far Delgo!
I may never get into hand inked maps, but if I ever decide I know where to go to get started.
I dub thee newly repped *bonk*

This just keeps getting better and better

Thanks to both of you SG and 5mpig appreciate it.

Actually have a publishing company, My wife and I are writers as well, and we're putting out our first book soon which we've discussed at length in this thread Book Maps
But I hadn't considered it until you mentioned it... and now I'm seriously considering doing just that. I don't, I'd have to think about it really, as a publisher, you sink a lot of money into a book even before it hits the shelf... so its a little scary.

Yep Ascension... I'm seriously considering it. I think I'd be putting in not only the drawing aspect but the ability to transfer and manipulate it digitally. And it wouldn't be just pen and ink I think, I'd add color mapping as well.
