My method for creating fictional world maps:
1) go for a walk after rain
2) take photos of drying spots on the sidewalk
3) draw over them ✨ :blobfoxfloofreach:

This semester, I'm a guest lecturer for a worldbuilding class at USC School of Dramatic Arts.

I use real-world places to create fictional geographies. In this case, I've cobbled together a few Venezuelan #tepuis to create an archipelago...these are a couple of test renders based on the map.

Remember--Islands are mountains.

This semester, I'm collaborating teaching a worldbuilding class at the USC School of Dramatic Arts.

I'll be showing the class techniques for creating fictional places from real geographies. I've cobbled together a few Venezuelan #tepuis to create an archipelago...this is the draft map.

Remember--Islands are mountains.
