I have recently started making watercolour fantasy maps as a fun side-project. In this video, I’ll talk about worldbuilding, especially mountains and monsters. I’ll also share a couple of my old hand-drawn pencil maps of Western and Northern Farraway.

This is a fantasy world that I’ve created together with my D&D group for… eh, the last 25 years. (It’s true what they say: Times flies when you're having fun, it appears.)

I hope that you enjoy this video and if you’ve any questions or tips about worldbuilding and fantasy maps, please leave a comment below. (I read all of them.)

Thank you so much for watching & I hope that you’ll have a wonderful and creative day! 🖌️☕️🎨

Cheers/ Tove
