![]() I repeated the same process except I did this for the mountains.I dry brushed some green onto where the forest icons where. The next feature that I painted was the forest. After the lakes and rivers are done I went ahead and dry brushed the dark blue color for the ocean that I drew in on the left side of the map.I've got shaky hands, and I think the map came out okay. There's nothing wrong with a little blip here and there. Its okay if you go over the lines or you make it too dark. Now dry brush the light blue for your lakes and rivers.I never painted directly on this stuff before. I did this because I wanted to experiment, and see how grainy the cardstock was because its a common crafting material that I use in my terrain projects for my table top games. What this will do is the paint will hopefully only catch onto all the bumps and ridges that paper has in it. Now take your brush, and take nice and light brushes on your map until there is a noticeable amount of paint on the map. To dry brush you need to get some paint on your paint brush and wipe it off on a towel until there is barely any paint coming off of the brush. There are a lot of videos on the Internet on how to do this, but I will go on and describe this technique for you here. You can choose to paint your map in any order you want, but for this project I started with my water features.I saved that part for after the painting was done.For me I had a lot of room to create a title, a legend, and an ocean.If you were lucky like me there was some space where the dice didn't fall onto.It was something I expected as that was my smallest dice pool, but hey you can just blame the dice right? Okay, bad lame joke aside its time to move onto the next phase of this project! ![]() My forest were looking a little barren.Where ever there was a large cluster I decided to draw them in as a large lake instead of individual rivers. I got luck as most of the dice happened to have fallen near each other in a nice cluster. After I drew in the features I took a moment to look at how I wanted to draw the river.If you get tired or get cross eyed you should take a break.I wanted to save that for last as I wanted to see how I can add twists and turns in the body of the river. ![]()
