If you’re writing a fantasy novel but don’t know how to draw the map, this is the book for you! After more than a year of work, I’ve published a Kindle eBook called How to Make a Fantasy Map: A Writer’s Guide to Otherworldly Cartography.
Learn how to roughen a simple shape into a fully-formed coastline for your fantasy map!
My book lays out a novel approach to drawing fantasy maps. With nothing but my ~$5 eBook and Inkscape, a piece of free, open-source software that won’t cost you a penny, you’ll draw a versatile, editable map in the medium of vector graphics. After following my step-by-step guide, your map will scale to be as large as you need it, while remaining crisp.
Within hours, you’ll be able to draw beautiful, realistic coastlines with minimal effort. Although it may take a bit more getting used to than pixel-based software, making a map in vector graphics has numerous advantages. You’ll find that technology has made drawing a fantasy map easier than ever!
