    Tutorial Draw Something Interesting - Xpian Tutorial Thread

    Given that I'm planning on making a series of tutorial videos, I thought it might be a good idea to start a thread that would contain the series, rather than having them scattered about.

    Two new videos have been added to the first two episodes: some alternate mountain forms and how to do basic connected mountain ranges.

    Tanks a lot for those tutorials. I use myself procreate and discovered some aspect that i neglected. The Apple pencil seems wonderfull to use.

    A new video has posted, this one a slightly longer walk-through of how to do one type of desert on an isometric map, with visible dunes and such... http://youtu.be/kZuACbidaJk

    Awesome, it's great to watch you work! I've only watched the first video, but I'm keen to try drawing some of your mountains. I am totally going to pretend that it takes you 12 minutes to do each one...

    Cheers,
    Meshon
