Handdrawn anyone??
Does anyone here draw maps by hand?? I was hoping to look at hand drawn maps that I could study.

My pencil has no Control-Z.
(And no, my eraser doesn't work that way. I wish it did!)
Venus Public Transit, Map Of Ceres, Jack Vance's Ports Of Call & Lurulu ... why do I only have 3 maps here?
I hand draw my maps, in the sense that I use a tablet and Gimp. I do a little concept work with a pencil and paper, but mostly it is done in the computer.
The person here who does the most actual hand drawn work is Delgondahntelius. He's written a tutorial on it here:

There was a thread a while back where several of us who now use computer-aided techniques posted old hand drawn maps.

I do!
I'd say half to one third of my maps are hand-drawn to start with - usually are digitally enhanced for color, bump or bevel and shadows, after I scan them in. Of course I do strictly digital maps as well. It really depends on what kind of map I need and turn-around. Hand-drawn work takes more time.
Some of my very illustrative digital only designs take me little over an hour to create. But if I want a personal style or a more archaic look - I hand-draw.

You have what some folks like to refer to as "talent" - something that many of us lack...Originally Posted by Gamerprinter
Ditto.. combine that with a liberal dose of the "super speed" power and you get one super duper mapper!

yea...i hand drew all my maps...i only have a 2 of my planets for my project as CGI, all the others i've done by hand...but only one of them is scanned:
I have hundreds of hand-drawn maps from the campaigns I ran prior to good graphics editing software appearing on the computer.
Someday, I should get all of those maps out and scan them into a database.
I also occasionally paint my campaign maps. I should find a way to get those into the computers well.
