Tutorial for Procreate & Most Drawing Apps

Tutorial for Photoshop

Adding texture to your fantasy maps is a great way to make it feel like an authentic relic from the world you've creating. Fortunately it's not difficult to build layers of texture on your maps; if you know a few of the tricks I'm going to show you today.

Here you will find two videos walking you through the process. One will show you how to do it if you’re working in Procreate and most drawing apps such as Clip Studio Paint, Affinity Photo, Krita, etc. While the that method will also work in Photoshop, the second video will show you a special method I like to use for applying textures on my maps if I’m working in Photoshop.
