Many years back (let's go with 6+), I found a wonderful article/how-to guide on how to do the traditional style used by National Geographic. I believe it was referencing pre-digital era, but could be wrong.

It had great info on shading the relief maps.

Alas, I can't find it on my computer anymore....or via google....

I thought I'd originally found it here on the site, but I'm having trouble finding anything related using the search here.

If you're able to link me to the article, or the post (if there is one), I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!
