About this gig

If you're looking for an authentic hand-drawn map, you've come to the right place! I don't use pre-gridded paper or any help from computers to make my maps. Everything I do is always done 100% by hand.


When creating a city scape I make a pencil-grid in order to keep buildings in line. I then make the map in pencil, and once I'm satisfied with how it looks I will outline everything in ink.


Once the outlining is done I start shading; first with ink hatching, second with charcoal. The reason I use charcoal is because the grid lines are still visible, so I add a layer of charcoal to "erase" them.


When doing a battle, continental, or less structured map I don't use a grid. I still use charcoal to finalize the shading because it gives it a warmer, lived-in look. You can see the images uploaded to my X and Patreon pages that it turns out really well.

I specialize in hand-drawn maps, meaning everything on the map is rendered by hand. I have been drawing maps for five years, which have mostly been geared toward D&D campaigns. I can do anything from high detailed renditions of custom city scapes to basic battle maps and everything in between. Open communication and quality are my highest priorities to make sure you get the perfect map.
