This is a helpful video for people who play solo D&D with a hexcrawl map. When you generate a new hex’s terrain, you want to keep your symbols fairly simple because you draw them repeatedly, but you want them to look obvious so you can easily tell what they represent.

Watched your drawing videos many times and just bought your Flik Silverpen‘s Guide. Drawing my own Shadowdark maps now! Thanks @JP!

I love your videos and Art style. I wish I could paint as well as you. ❤

Random thought: Have you ever thought about drawing the Seven Wonders of the world in your art style? Seems like a fun exercise at the least. Also does your world have any Wonders?

Great video (as ever) JP. I've drawn up the maps for my first self created game over the last few weeks - all woodland, with trees and fungus, but simple like yours with a 'broken' grid too to use for playing with paper miniatures! I was walking in woodland this morning and took loads of photos for reference for the final maps/zine.

This is brilliant! I'm following all of your videos at the moment as I try to illustrate my own map for my brand new fantasy series.

I'm actually a character designer but my God do I suck at drawing maps. Your videos have really helped, though I still suck though.

im looking to find out how to create a village in a distance in drawings on paintings. More like from a hill perspective looking down at it. Any ideas? Thanks
