The latest videos from my Youtube Channel
Join me as I try and explain my cave-battle-map-drawing-method using actual English words. This is the first episode in my new, laid-back, “Let’s Draw” tutorial series, where I talk through how I go about drawing my battle maps. It’s been too long!
This is a 30x time-lapse of my painting process for my latest two map tiles, the Roadside Camp & Clearcut.
In this time-lapse I draw two more Roadside tiles, the Camp and the Clearcut, sped up to 10x speed.
Here you can watch me paint and tweak the Roadside Rise & Wilderness battle map tiles, a time-consuming process sped up 1000-3000x for your viewing pleasure!
In this video I hand draw two tiles for my new Roadside series, a series of battle maps for random encounters on the road.
Coloring the Snowy Summit battle map in Photoshop, at a zippy 25-50x speed.
Drawing my latest map, the Snowy Summit, at 10x speed!

My work process sped up to 400-1000% as I draw the Crystal Hill.
I’m rebooting my YouTube channel with this simple “Let’s Build” time lapse of my Harvest Horror paper figurines. This video’s main purpose was to test out my new filming setup, so please excuse its simplicity!
This video guide explains how to use my Castle Walls Tileset to build your own custom castle in Roll20.
In this video I explain the foundational discipline of “flatting” and my personal method. It is an excellent practice that makes layer manipulation and color tweaking very simple in all stages of your coloring process.
This is my commentary on how I color my battle maps using Gimp, a free alternative to Photoshop. I focus mostly on the ever-important skill of layer management, and ramble a little about color theory too.
Drawing grass from a top-down perspective takes a little thought to avoid a blank sheet of paper, or a time-consuming mess of hatches. This guide falls somewhere in the middle – a happy medium, if you will!
How to fill your map with difficult terrain and annoy your players!
The freshly fallen tree, and how to draw it in eleven minutes.
How to draw a lush top-down pine tree, step-by-step.

A guide to the three ways I draw elevation on my battle maps; ridges, slopes and cliffs.
Welcome to the first episode of my new project! These “How To Draw” videos are made for Dungeon Masters or mapping enthusiasts who are curious about my method.
Soothe your ears and eyes to the speed painting of the Little Library set to some excellent music.
Watch the time lapsed inking of the Little Library sketch while listening to me ramble about maps and future videos.
I have quite a backlog of videos I want to produce, and this is the first. The over-the-shoulder-cam of The Blacksmith.
Today I finish up the three-part Dragon’s Lair battle map set. Watch the shoulder-cam of the drawing, and the screencap of the painting (minus some corrupted footage, sadly). Enjoy!
