Nice layout and overall composition. Certainly not bad for a first effort.If you're looking for more input and ways to improve your craft you've certainly come to the right place.
Small Village
Hello!
I'm a newcomer, and i ask that you please forgive any of my maps if they happen to be bad.
anyways, here's my first map. a small village with just a few trees, a dock, river, bridge and some buildings.
i hope you enjoy!

Hi Pumpernickelsguy, Welcome to the Guild!
That's a nice layout for a village. What software are you using? It looks like MSPaint or something similar. I recommend Photoshop, but if cost is an issue, GIMP is free choice.
My first suggestion would be for you to do some reading of tutorials around here. There is a great tutorial in the sticky section of Tutorials, called Quickstart Guide to Fantasy Mapping: http://www.cartographersguild.com/showthread.php?t=4276
From there, go to Hand Drawn Mapping for the Artistically Challenged: http://www.cartographersguild.com/sh...ad.php?t=10655
Once you have completed those two tutorials, you can look at getting a better drawing program and you'll be well on your way!!
Have some rep for posting your first map!!
I'm using a software called Artrage 3, it came with the tablet that i use to draw. thank you for the input!Originally Posted by chick
I recommend you take a serious look at Photoshop, or GIMP. I have a feeling that you will be able to do a lot more with one of those.
I'll definitely make sure to check it out!
