“You’re not writing the letters, you’re drawing them.”
Damn, that’s some hippy Druid-level wisdom right there; I like it.
Same is true for calligraphy: your drawing letters, not writing them. :-)
Wow!!
Bob Ross: here we put a big happy letter.... And maybe this letter has a little friend.... Because we all need a little friend
@@ericdpeerik3928 Well, the first is gonna be a capital letter, so it indeed gets little friends. :)
I have crappy handwriting. I decided years ago that I was better off "drawing" my letters
that map is worthy to be placed in a frame and set upon the wall for all to see. Nice job.
This video is 3 years old and I just learned that lettering isn't writing, it's drawing.
Friggin.
Thank you.
The biggest thing about my art is that I strive for perfection so much that I forget to experiment and remember that this is for my pleasure and for me to keep improving. This video has given me lots of great ideas and Im super inspired to just go try some new stuff out. If it works it works, if it doesn't it doesn't!
I'm a brazilian whriter and certainly will make use of this video to draw the map of my world, it will get life! For you, the only thing i can say is: Thanks!
Started making an eye ball and shaded it in with alchohol markers, when I took a step back it looked like an island surrounded by water with more land surrounding it. A superimposed treasure map was just the finishing touch it needed. You helped me achieve this vision and I can't wait to frame it and enjoy it forever now!👍❤ big thumbs up and Thankyou for sharing your time and talent!
😅
YOU NEED TO STOP, YOUR MAKING ME (someone who never draw before) WANTING TO TRY OUT AND CREAT A D&D CAMPAING, PLS STOP.... PLS..... CONTINUE
DOOOOO ITTTTTT!!!
WHY ARE WE YELLING
@@Veran42 YELLING IS FUN
@@chuck2703 THATS A VERY GOOD POINT
I LIKE YELLING TOO
WOW! LOVE THIS! I’m going to show this to my young students, for fun project to go with studying Tolkien and the Hobbit. 👏🤩👍
It is so lovely seeing someone talking about a topic that they are genuinely interested about.
keep up with the good job.
This video helped me make a map of my local bush that I explored and found cool land marks
Your voice is very relaxing to listen to, I told this to my girlfriend and she’s jealous 🤣 Great video man! Your art style is amazing to me!
Hah!
Lol
I like so much his pronunciation, i'm not a native English speaker, and i can understand almost everything he says
Wow! This is soooooo good. I've always been too intimidated to try drawing a map but your breaking down of all the steps definitely made it more approachable! Going to give it a shot
Woooo! You can do it!!!
it's perfect, I need how to draw a map for my fantasy story
13:50 i got a heart attack when you did that
Why on Earth is this video so freaking satisfying?!
You are the Bob Ross of maps
I can watch you create them all day!
Thank you Good Sir 🎩
I can literally watch hours worth of your content without pause, it is entertaining and really helpful! Thanks a lot for the great work!
Love your approach to mapmaking! You make it look so easy and your explanations take away all the fear of just try. I’m planning ob starting my own campaign, as soon as we’re allowed to play in person again and meet up with more than one more household again.
Thank you for your videos!
I've been watching your videos for the last hour, and I can't get more impressed on how CLEAN your lines are. It makes your art pop so much. Great job, dude!
I always love on these fantasy maps those parts of the continent where there is an island chain or an assembly of islands somewhere. I always think ''Í want to go here and see what is on each and every one of these islands even if it's just some plants or brushes'' to me this is always an experience I still end up remembering later on in almost any game.
This is one of the coolest things! Thanks for taking the time to do this, you had my full attention the whole vid!
Fantastic video. Loved your planning and lists and how you broke down the whole process. Will try it on my next map. Thanks
Fantastic! I cant wait to do this
I love how you made the tutorial of this video so simple for people of all levels of talent. 😉
SOooo cool, I love your teaching, I will use it for sure ! Un grand merci à toi !
Really digging your enthusiasm. Takes me back to my college days jamming in the art labs with classmates and then later with the community arts programs. Never loose that energy, Brother.
Great Video - you explained the whole process and this is very important. Often the process starts at a blank paper (and everybody know how scary a blank paper can be), you begin to draw and it doesn't work out, so you are frustrated in no time. So important to be patient and think about what youre going do! Thank you for sharing this!
That's a nice piece, very clean linework complimented by the simplistic iconography.
Man I must say
I just stumbled upon the video containing instructions for the Tolkien map and I am hooked. The drawings are beyond beautiful.
I will definitely use some techniques for the map of my story!
I have been really interested in fantasy mapmaking as of late. A great introduction, thanks so much
i learnt absolutely loads from your video 🙌🙌 thank you so much …. in fact i drew my map i had in my head as, as you were going through the steps x this is what you tube is all about
Great art and great advice. Love your channel!
Little tip for weathering paper before drawing the map: soak the paper in black tea and hang it up to dry. Amazing video, im gonna try this for my campaign...
Your encouragement sparks inspiration in me! I'm literally crying! The map looks so beautiful! 😭😭😭
Stuff you post is so great! I think showing players maps of cities, continents, dungeons helps them imagine the world, environment's without drowning them in a ton of verbal details.
Wish we could play D&D one day at the same table! :D
JP - Love how excited you are about everything you share! Really inspiring!
You're the Bob Ross of fantasy maps.
I know I'm very late, but I am studying to become an art teacher and this seems like an awesome thing to do with my students when the time comes!
I will most definitely use this for my ttrpg sessions too. Thank you for the very easy to follow tips and tricks! You inspired me :)
There's no other "how to draw" that excites you! This work is amazing. I'll try to draw it too. Thank you for letting me know!
Great tutorial! And the map itself is simply wonderful-I mean, I want to go there!
I could watch you draw maps all day long.
This is amazing. I'm a new DM. And I am loving your videos on creating maps and towns and stuff like this. Thanks for the video man. God bless!
I love all of your RPG map videos.
Omg I just watched you for the first time, I love you!!! Your enthusiasm for it is magical
No questions. This is great!!!
Very inspiring and encouraging - thanks!
I am worldbuilding for a story I am writing, and this was the best video on fantasy mapmaking. Awesome!
It's not the video we needed it's the video we deserve
Amazing tutorial. All these instructions are do clear and now i want to go start drawing as soon as possible! Lets start a new map!
I think i might’ve found myself a new hobby. Thanks for the videos, I would never know how map making can be relaxing and rewarding… looks amazing!
I'm very happy that I found you here. You helped me a lot to draw Map's for my homebrew setting for D&D. Best wishes from germany.
Those videos are so great! It's been helping me with my campaign and I've been helping my friends campaign too. It has also been such a great relaxing therapeutic exercise for me. I'm dealing better with my depression and panic attacks with exercises like this. Thank you so much for your work!
This means so much to me! So glad drawing can help! Keep going!!!!
I love drawing world maps. Looks great JP!
Love it! Thank you! I love drawing my Fantasy Maps
Thank you. I am an ESL teacher. The class is learning about reading/interpreting different types of maps. Final assignment is to draw a fantasy map with story. My class will enjoy your video. Thanks again.
Wats a ESL teacher???

It was really great to watch this video thank you for your work !!
Very Good Job! Thank you for the teaching,I needed it!😆
Beatiful! Really inspiring. Thank you.
This was super helpful!!! Thank you for this video!
I love your map and your technique! Our older son has drawn a map and we can improve it with your technique, thank you very much!
You really inspire me. Thank you.
Such a great guide! Cheers
I always tought i can't draw but you made me believe in myself. Thank you so much!
I've been watching through your map videos and I am SO INSPIRED....
I have some projects started and I'll make sure to tag you on Instagram when they are ready ❤
recommended by UA-cam algorithm by chance.. love your vids.. makes me want to draw my own fantasy maps now.. instantly subscribe 👍
Acabo de encontrar tus videos, siempre quise encontrar información sobre como hacer mapas de esta forma, ya sea para fantasía o simplemente para hacer mapas reales a este estilo de fantasía y antiguos, gracias por compartir tu conocimiento.
WOW! This is made with such careful attention to detail! It's a lot cleaner than my maps. The erasing really makes a difference; that white space is super crucial to helping make the landscapes and pen details pop. Just to let you know, I actually love composing musical themes for OC's, ranging from Celtic, orchestral to epic battle music. I find that music can really help a character come to life and complement their visual presentation. Let me know if you ever need music for a character or project!
I loved this!
I just love watching you draw maps! It really inspires me to help with the one I'm doing for a book I'm writing. Thank you!
Ooh writing, i like making stories and small books even though im only 11 what's yours about and what is the name of it😊😊😊
You are my hero! Amazing.
Thanks for the helpful video!
Using these videos with my Year 5 class, drawing a map of Cornucopia from the book, The Ickabog. I can't believe how much their maps levelled up after watching a few minutes of this and your symbols video. Amazing work mate!
Sounds like a wonderful class! Thanks for sharing :)
You looks like a mixture of Julien (jennamarbles) and Jazza (draw with jazza). And that's a good thing!
Great tutorials, JP 🙂
As someone who is also from the Queen City I appreciate using our city for inspiration 😂
I’m actually currently in the process of worldbuilding a Chronicles of Darkness setting in Cincy
awesome work !
This... This is awesome. Thank you.
There are a lot of fantasy map making videos and JP Coovert is not too loud and he is not to Quiet, he is also interactive with his viewers in the videos
I love your teaching style and attitude it makes people like me who sometimes doubt their own skill really have the confidence to try without the fear of failure so thanks for being awesome
Thank you! Have fun making stuff!
Thank you very much! I struggle with map making, and I have a campaign starting soon. YYoure a life saver!
Glad it helps! I'm sure your players will love your map!!!
Thank you for making this it helped so much
I'm just about to start a fiction fantasy book and wanted to take from the Hobbit and game of thrones series and have maps . I've looked everywhere and out of 2 dozen or maybe 3 this was the best map drawing video I found I'm so subscribed now I will check out more because this was Amazing!!!!!!! Thank you JP Covert your awesome Man.
Bravo! Your voice is relaxing, and your drawing is on point! I subscribed.
Awesome. Thanks.
You make this sooooo much easier than I thought it was gonna be! I made a map myself and it came out super cool my friends want me to teach them and i just point them here lol
Omg your little castles and forts are so cute!! I love them 😂
This is an amazing video. I'm a Fantasy Author, currently writing my second series, and I've just designed the map. Instead of hiring an illustrator, or having my Publisher bring it to life, I really wanted to have a pop at it myself this time. This video has inspired me to do so. Thank you, sir.
So awesome! This is why I got into making maps myself. It’s just a conglomeration if super simple drawings that when all out together creates such a pleasing end product! You also have a knack for the font, that’s my weak point right now lol.
Thanks! Think of the words just like the other elements of the maps. You already know all the symbols, just gotta keep them a consistent width and height!
You are an awesome scribe man! new subs here love your map tuts.
im not intrested in D&D or painting and stuff like that but i its the 4th video im looking form you today painting some crazy fantasy stuff and im in love with that :D
Wow, it's amazing
JP, you have a serious talent--not just in drawing, but your teaching skill is incredible. Loved it!
Thank you!!!
Great video. Just finished making my first map!
This is very cool
Very amazing bro, just cool
You are best artist in the earth.
Thanks ❤
SO COOL and such a well made vid!! good stuff JP 😎
Thanks dude! Means a lot coming from you!
AWESOME!
Jeesh ok I haven't attempted any drawing since... well... last century. Your vids are really helping me to get a grip on the visual component of being a DM. Also born and raised in Cincy.
I love this, thank you
He's right, you don't have to be good at drawing to make a good map. I can't draw at all, and this has helped me make some pretty sweet maps
This guy’s the new bob ross of map making. Great video. Thank you
This is the comment I was looking for. Exactly my thought.
