This map was an exercise with some new pens. The thick lines made drawing easy, but coloring more difficult. Next month I want to try some extra-thin lines to compare. 

It took me a long time to find a color scheme that I liked, but I’m glad that I kept meddling. If you’d prefer something warmer, check out the Patron-exclusive tropical variant!

This map serves as a good entrance for any old dungeon or cave map, especially icy ones. Perhaps I will draw a specialized interior? If so, what do you imagine is in there? Let me know in the comments. 🙂

EDIT: Sam Brown has written another of his excellent map primers. Find the PDF in the ZIP download, it’s great food for the imagination!
