Good day my friends. I have finished a new D&D illustration for my D&D campaign and Patreon page. This is the completed illustration for reference.
I start with a crude sketch only to get things where I want them to be.
First things first, I draw the main lines and features of the map, in this case, it's the walls and trees.
I then add furniture and small items. Only outlines.
Now I add all the small detailes in the items, the walls and the hills outside.
Now color. I start with the small stuff and upwards. Here is the furniture and small items colored.
Now I color trees and add a shadow outline to the interior of both buildings.
Add color to the trees, hills, road and also shadows for everything.
I plan on having an alternate image with roof. Here is the roof linework.
Now I add all the small details to the roofs.
Final color and shading of the roofs.
Here's the completed illustration.
Here's the variant illustration with roof.
I'm a graphic illustrator and I focus my work in tabletop RPG games like dungeons and dragons.
I'm new on Steemit but have great aims to share my work in posts like this one where people can see illustrations be created from the ground up.
Send some love, likes and follow me for awesome cartography illustrations.
I do this full time and I love creating fantastic locations !

There is a pledge level that gives access to my photoshop source files, in case you wish to see my workflow and learn in the process.
Fantastic! How much of this is done by hand?

Hi, sorry for the late reply. It's all hand drawn. I use a wacom drawing tablet and photoshop. The only thing I didn't draw in this illustration was the sword in the compass. That one is by Daniel Waltwall, a creator I know on Twitter
