In this class we continue working on the map that we started in my first class of this series: Fantasy Maps in Photoshop Part I: Coastlines my second class: Fantasy Maps in Photoshop Part II: Terrain Features and my third class: Fantasy Maps in Photoshop Part III: Icons and Labels. I'll assume that you know your way around the basics of Adobe Photoshop and you can follow along with most of the tools without in depth explanations of how they work. Are you not comfortable enough with Adobe Photoshop yet? There's a lot of classes on Skillshare that'll help you familiarize yourself with the program!

What Will You Learn?

Flat Colours: In this lesson you'll learn how to lay out the flat colours for your map, step by step. We'll start with colouring the mountains, then the forests and finally the icons.
Shading: Next we'll add some rough shading to all these features and when the basic shading is done we'll go over everything to add more detailed shading.
Lighting: After the shading is done we'll start adding some light. We'll follow a similar process as before, but with some slight changes and shortcuts for a more efficient workflow.
Finishing Touches: In this final lesson we'll cover a variety of things. We'll start with manipulating our lines to make them blend in with the map more. Next we'll add some add some decorative rhumblines to the map. Finally we'll add a parchment texture to give your map a worn and authentic look.
