Re: Fantasy Map Icon

It depends a bit on what you are looking to create. As Rdanhenry said, a graphics program would be what you need, and nothing is stopping you from either using a drawing tablet to digitally hand-draw your icons, or doing it the old fashioned way and then scanning the result.

What kind of icons are you looking to make? We might have some more in-depht advice to give if we get more detail on what you're trying to accomplish

The kind of icons I was hoping to make are geographical features and some settlements. Like a cluster of trees, and strings of mountains, or a kingdom.

I can draw each pieces with ease but whenever I put them all together, they start to look like a mess. Maybe by making an icon of each pieces, I can assemble them more in order. An icon for each piece, an icon for a mountain or a tree, an icon for a kingdom or a village.

Thanks for the responses btw.

If that's the case then I'd suggest drawing them all on the same sheet, it should help you make them more cohesive with one another. Then you can split them all out to their own separate png's for brushes and stamps or whatever. Honestly though the reason so many artists eventually resort to hand drawing everything on a map is because with stamps you are always going to get a bit of disjointedness.
