Attached is the latest version of this tutorial. I expanded it a bit and now it covers also the ways to create hills, river and towns.
So here we go and hopefully you find it useful. In case you want to have something added, please let me know and I’ll check if I can come up with a good way to do it.
And as this was my first tutorial, please let me know if the level of explanations and details was good or if I overexplaned or something.

thanks for this tuto!
This is an excellent tutorial. I've been following along with this tutorial as well as Tears tutorial mostly because I like how much more defined the mountains are with this one. Not quite sure how I feel about the shapes of my mountains so I'll put up my furthest progress on this map so far. I do like it a lot though. Gave you rep for this tut.Again, thank you very much for making this tutorial.

Wow, this is a great looking tutorial and the results are stunning. I'm going to have to take a further look at this when I get home tonight.
It would be rough in gimp as it relies heavily on layer effects

Thanks you guys for all the comments and I’m glad that you have liked this. I broke my finger a while ago and have not been able to work too much lately. So this is not a major update, but I figured it is worth publishing anyway.
Here is an example of the methods used in this tutorial.
Nice tutorial, pasis! Good results, too.
