This is the finished illustration.

I always start with a crude sketch

Then I add the main linework and features.

I added a dropdown portray of the ground. The other options i to draw the walls but that sometimes makes the drawing to blotted.

Now I added doors

Now I add furniture here

I added rocky details to the drop down floors to give it depth.

Now I do the same with all the floor and walls in the bottom room to give it texture and depth.

I added a margin and a secret room and a deadly trap in the second chamber.

Final details like number tags and a shaded layer to give some sense of light.

I love this step by step guide! Okay, I don't play D&D, but I can still appreciate the how-to. I also like the maps you've shown so far, so here's a full upvote from me :-)

thanks a lot ! I just recently joined and though I'm a fulltime artist, my type of art is very restricted to games like D&D, I'm glad to know some people still appreciate, even if they do not play.

I must confess that out of being new here, I have not much experience with the posts from the community in general, but guessing that there's money rewards, I can suppose there must be people spamming all kinds of things.

I saw some pretty pictures on your blog so I followed you back. I

There are indeed plenty of people spamming all kinds of things, which makes it hard to find the gems inbetween all the ehm... not so great posts. I tried submitting you to one of our initiatives that look for these gems, but got an error. I think someone else already submitted you, because I see your post got the Curie upvote anyway, so congrats on that! Glad they found you :-)
