In today's tutorial, I am showing you guys how not to waste hours upon hours to draw your forests, trees and jungle areas on your Fantasy Maps. Forests play a large part in worldbuilding creation and despite the repetitive process that some like, I do not usually have time to spend too much on it. When I created my first map I made sure to spend some time creating plenty of tree stamps as the map encompassed a couple of different climate zones and I knew I'd need some leafy trees, some jungle ones, savannah and some pines for the winter north. The fantasy map drawing does not look as repetitive as some stamped works, and that's due to creating variations and ensuring that the stamped patterns are hidden. Your fantasy map drawing can be finished so much quicker allowing you more time to focus on other areas of your fantasy cartography. Fantasy Map creation is art on its own, and well-represented forests are invaluable for a successful dnd or ttrpg campaign.
