I am trying out my first solid attempt at drawing a map with a stylus in Photoshop. So, unlike my physical media maps, you can all lay on the criticism and I can actually respond! Hooray!

This is inspired by a recent trip to the Galapagos, which are rugged hotspot-style shield volcanoes. The feature I built the coastline around is the double-ringed caldera in the southwest. I'm planning to finish the ring in the east and put a big shield in the middle. The north and south coasts would be lava flows. I definitely want to place some rivers and forests, too, to practice my technique.
