Finally, draw a small line angled down from every point in the zig-zag line. If the point is to the left, draw a line to the left. If the point is to the right, draw a line to the right.
Draw Your Own Fantasy Maps

One of my favorite things about playing tabletop RPGs is that it inspires me to create art that fits into that world. Whenever I play a Dungeons and Dragons campaign, I always feel compelled to create a very detailed world map to help me envision the place I’m in. This may seem complicated, but broken down step by step, anyone with some patience should be able to do it.

Supplies
High-Quality Paper- I prefer watercolor paper because the thickness and weight make it seem more like a real, “old-timey” map
Pencil- any pencil is fine, I use mechanical. Something on the hard side would be best.
Felt Tipped Pens- I like Micron or, like I’ve used in this example, Zig Millennium pens for Drawing and Scrapbooking.
A Good Eraser- I have a Moo Eraser that I love. It is not just a normal eraser (although that will work). These are awesome. Get one.
Optional: Dice- I’ve written this assuming you will use dice, but you could drop any collection of small items or alter the first step so that instead of letting chance create randomness, you just make up the continent shapes yourself.

Step 1: Roll for Outlines
Grab a handful of dice. I usually just hold them a few inches above the paper and roll them gently.
You can adjust the position of the dice a bit if something looks off. Then, using a pencil, trace lightly around the dice. You’ll need to make some decisions about which parts should be connected, what should become islands, etc. I also recommend letting the lines be jagged or wiggly to approximate a coastline.

Draw the grass. First, you need to draw the grass at the base of the mountains. Below is a straight line, and above there are semicircles that look like bushes or trees.
Draw the first mountain. To do this, draw a triangle on the left side of the picture.
Add the second mountain. On the right side, draw a second, slightly smaller mountain. Note that part of the second mountain is located behind the first.
Add the third. In the middle, in the background, draw the third mountain in the same way.
Draw the snowy tops. The top of the mountains is drawn in a zigzag pattern, as in the example. Additionally, snow can be added to the slopes.
Color your drawing. The grass can be colored green, the mountains blue, pink and purple, as well as snow-white. You can use these same colors or dream up and come up with your own unique one.
