How To Make Fantasy Maps | An Interview With Inkarnate's Finest, Dread Maps and Tyndall Doodle


Listen Later

In this episode of the podcast, we take a comprehensive look at fantasy maps: how to make them, tips on designs and how to draw them both freehand and with the help of digital tools and websites.

Helping me do that are two of the best cartographers around, Tyndall Doodle and Dread Maps.
Both are talented artists and inspirational users of the fantasy map making website, Inkarnate.
We enjoy a comprehensive chat about the magic of maps and cartography, best practices for creating your own world maps and battle maps for DnD and tabletop campaigns, and how you can use Inkarnate to bring your imaginings to life. 
It's a brilliant discussion featuring two passionate and talented individuals, and with the beauty of video, you can see examples of their work throughout.
