Fantasy Regional Map - 15+ hours of work in Photoshop - Step by Step

in #drawing6 years ago

Hey there friends. I've been working for the last three days in this regional map from a fantasy world. This is for RPG games like Dungeons and Dragons or similar. This illustration was commissioned by one of my followers on Patreon, he was really happy with the end result.

I work with Photoshop and an Intuos Pro Wacom drawing tablet. Here is the finished illustration for reference.

I start with a sketch in Photoshop.

After that, I create the map elements one by one. Each element and/or color are in their own individual layers for easy manipulation.
