    Default Hello, I'm New and Need Your Help

    Hello all my name is Dax.
    I have been browsing Cartographers Guild for some time but have yet to find a good starting point for making a good realistic map of my world. I have been working on this world for about 2 years when my computer crashed and I lost almost everything. So I have recently had to start over. This time I decided to start the map by drawing up the plates and then adding in the land forms and figured out the direction of plates and where my mountains would be. I have found plenty of information on how to build the climate around the land forms so at this point I'm mostly looking for tutorials, very basic ones, so I can learn how to get started making my map with gimp.

    Thanks for anyone who can help out.

    Hello Dax, Welcome to the Guild!

    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'll be well on your way!!
