Turn a detailed hand drawn map into an ink-and parchment style

[Brandon Michael]

RobA- would it be better when using multiply to darken the outline of the rivers, coastline, moutains, shading etc? And if so, should I make it darker by marking it darker on the paper or should i use the pen tool and create outlines for everything in photoshop?

Also should I write the names of everything on the paper, or would it be more preferable to do that in photoshop?

If you could provide an example of your source drawing - the "detailed sketched map" it would be easier to make suggestions.

As it stands, the answers to your questions would all have to be "maybe" as I'm not sure what your starting point is
