    Help Getting Started

    Hi there everyone,

    I've just gotten started with drawing maps using GIMP. I've been going through tutorials and have been relatively happy with the results however it always looks so childish. I know that a lot of it is just trial and error and practice, but are there any overall tutorials out there for getting started? Particularly I'm looking for things pertaining to coloring and to the textures of different areas.

    Thanks!

    Brandon
