    I can't take any credit for the parchment effect on the first map, it was done by the company that I paid to make the prints. The original is completely black and white and drawn on vellum. I'm only just beginning to learn to use my computer to edit scanned-in artwork and I have no examples to show as of yet.
    As for my experience: I've been drawing fantasy maps by hand for over 24 years and I've been a draftsman for almost as long. While I do all of my regular drafting design work in AutoCAD, I still draft manually as a hobby. My experience at manual drafting is what makes my work look so precise. I actually wish I was a bit more "sloppy" for the fantasy maps; my style always seems a bit too "technical" to me, but ingrained habits are hard to break and people seem to like it regardless.
    My maps are strictly ink. Though I have toyed around with washes and color in the past, my style preference is black and white ink lines.
