Fantasy Worldbuilding and Maps – Creating a Watercolour Fantasy Map

Описание: In this video, I’ll start painting the fantasy map of the Oxgate region using watercolours. I’ll also show you some video footage from Sweden where I spent a whole weekend playing roleplaying games with my friends and old Dungeons and Dragons group.

Since I grew up in Sweden it’s no surprise that Scandinavian nature, folklore, and Norse legend have had a massive impact on my writing. I’ll also talk about fantasy worldbuilding and our campaign world Eastern Farraway.

In addition, I’ll also talk about watercolour techniques that I’ve learned and show you how I create the map layer by layer using watercolours. I’m a beginner when it comes to drawing and painting fantasy maps, but I hope that this video can be useful or inspiring nonetheless.

Next week I’ll continue painting the watercolour fantasy map and I’ll share some wintery scenes from Sweden.🖌️🎨☕️

I hope that you’ll have a wonderful and creative day, wherever you are in the world.
Cheers/ Tove
