Mapmaking

Inspired by this post on the Ordnance Survey blog, here is my attempt at a Tolkien-style map. I chose Castleton for no reason other than it has a castle and a river.

Tolkien-style map of Castleton

To create the drawing I used Krita and a Wacom One graphics tablet. I initially tried to hand letter it but the results were poor. The font I ended-up using is Pete Klassen’s beautiful Aniron font, which I downloaded from here. It is described as “free for personal use” and I hope my usage respects this.
