For Writers
As a fantasy author myself, I have a bit of knowledge creating worlds in the fantasy landscape. As a fantasy author who has drawn hundreds of fantasy maps for other writers, I know the cliche’s and common pitfalls. I also know what looks good, and what falls flat. This course is mixed with my advice, as a writer to you, on what to do, and what to avoid when designing your map and fictional world.
Recommended Tools
(Though not required) A drawing tablet and Adobe Photoshop is recommended for this course. The techniques I teach will be demonstrated in the Photoshop program, not all drawing software may include the tools necessary to replicate what is shown.
