    I really appreciate these videos. There's a moment when you're adding detail to a feature and it just comes alive. That's what I'm trying to learn how to do.

      Thank you Howard, that’s really kind if you. I’m hoping things will grow but there’s a joy in being small, in that I get comments like this that make my day! Thanks for your support 😊

    I've only just discovered your channel, and this is the second video I'm watching. I've literally never commented on any video before but you made my day when your volcano sketch referenced my favourite film of all time ;). I might have to draw some steamer trunks floating out in one of my seas...

    1. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. It opened my mind to how any kind of wood is possible to draw.
    2. ❤️❤️❤️🖤🖤. Result is fantastic and technique is very simple. Really useful and common on maps and adventures.
    3. ❤️❤️❤️🖤🖤. Good to fill maps with side quests. Simple shapes. The grounded effect always looking good
    4. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Even better with colors! Can't wait until use it someday.
    5. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️. Limitless applications on adventures. Love how tilted the mountains are and the visual effect it provides.

    This was great. I'd love to see more of such versatile elements that can help us add more details and variety on the map. And thanks for all the other videos focusing on specific elements (trees, mountains, beach...).

    Hi Owen! I've just come across your channel and have almost finished binge watching all your videos! I still really *really* suck at mountains but your videos have really helped! Can't wait to see myself improve on my fantasy maps!! Thank you for helping us newbies out :)

      Hi, I’m not sure how I never replied to this! I’m so sorry for the slow response, you must have caught me when I was hiding from UA-cam a bit. Anyway, thank you so much, how is your map drawing coming along now?

    This is fascinating. Last week, I was looking for my father's bookshelf, and then I never seen the old book before. It's Master of the Five Magics Novel by Lyndon Hardy. I'm surprised map in the novel. It say "Demontooth Tower" as map!

    Thanks for your drawing tips. As a non-artist I am always amazed how other people can “see” things better than me.

    I have an idea for a video. As a mapmaker, I want to make maps digitally. Can you make a map tutorial using ibis paint. Because I don't have an iPad to draw in procreate.

      Hi Alfred, thanks for the comment. I've not used ibis paint, but I will look into it and see if I can figure it out!
