I have to exercise my Artist

[Royalwood]

Hey all! I am new to this guild and somewhat new to mapping. I have always loved cartography from a distance, although my favorite class in university was cartography. I even have have an embarrassingly modest atlas collection. My background is in more technical drawings like construction documents and cnc tool paths. That is why I have chosen Campaign Cartographer as my software of choice. I know my biggest challenge as I grow my skills is going to be my lack of artistic flare. My inner artist is going to get some exercise. I would love any constructive criticism on my work. I look forward to hanging around these forums with such talented artists.

I have attached my first map which is a current 5e campaign I am playing in based on my GMs sketches. Also I have linked my instgram account for my mapping.

Hey! Welcome to the guild.

I can tell you one thing, your setup up top is already a heading in the right direction. Making everything look like it fits in a world is one of the hard parts of cartography, and you did well. The artistic side comes with time and practise, my first maps were nothing to write home about. So good luck, and most importantly, have fun.
