    Map Trutena, my first real map

    Hey all,

    I joined the guild a few weeks ago and was amazed at all the different maps of extremely high quality. When I finally worked up the courage to try mapmaking on my own. I decided to try mapping a city with a handsketch. After posting it on the WIP section someone advised me to add some shading and use a fineliner for the linework. With that advice I managed to turn a terrible first sketch into a somewhat decent finished product. I want to thank you all for being such a helpful and caring community! I hope you like my city map of the town of Trutena and I hope I can learn a lot more from you in the future!

    Cheers,
    Sliceofmeat1
