Thread: [Award Winner] A medieval town map tutorial in Photoshop

Has anyone ever managed to create an island/coastal settlement with this program? If so, how did you pull it off?

Hey guys, my first post here, I just wanted to say that I found this tutorial to be awesome! I came up with something fairly good on my first try, and I made it especially difficult on myself by making it coastal. So, here's my first attempt, and if you have any questions about the coastal work, daftpirate, I'll do my best to answer

Very good for a first map! I suggest to open a WIP thread for it.

Edit: Oops, you already did.

very well done. i learned alot

Hi, great tutorial, especially for the shadows. But unfortunately for me, this is the part that I don't understand
When you say "add shadows" after darken areas, what do you mean exactly ? The difference between your two screenshots before/after are amazing (page 17/18 of the PDF) but I can't achieve that

Thanks anyway !

This is a really great tutorial. When working through these things, I have a much easier time with a printed copy...so, I copied the relevant posts and pictures into a pdf (attached to this post).
