TUTORIAL on Modern-Style Maps by Kuusinen

I think the title and content says it all. For those of you who are mostly interested in military illustrations, scroll to the appendix at the bottom.

This was awesome!

Wolflagang Featured By Owner Apr 17, 2017

Nice! I've been practicing for a while now and i want to try new style other than the "historical book" style.

Great, as an Inkscape / GIMP user I love having tutorials for them, instead of another Photoshop one

Kuusinen Featured By Owner Oct 1, 2015 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Yeah, no need to pay for Photoshop when you can get this for free. Although I wouldn't have anything against playing a bit around with Photoshop

Kuusinen Featured By Owner Dec 26, 2014 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Great!

bruiser128 Featured By Owner Dec 20, 2014 Student Traditional Artist

Would this process be different if it were a different program?

Kuusinen Featured By Owner Dec 20, 2014 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Hmm, well I guess so. I've never used any other programs. Apart from MS Paint of course xD

bruiser128 Featured By Owner Dec 20, 2014 Student Traditional Artist

For me I downloaded one of those programs, but it takes time to get used to.

Kuusinen Featured By Owner Dec 20, 2014 Hobbyist Digital Artist

It does, but the programs are awsome once you get the hang of it. I myself have only recently learned how to make use of Inkscape beyond creating labels, and it's awsome.

bruiser128 Featured By Owner Dec 20, 2014 Student Traditional Artist

Inkscape? Yes I believe I downloaded that one to use myself.
But to be honest I would rather do it with one of those digitized
sketchpads, like the ones animators use nowadays.

Waffle-Republic Featured By Owner Dec 26, 2014 Hobbyist Digital Artist

You can animate stuff wih Inkscape if you do good with vector programs and you own adobe after effects.

bruiser128 Featured By Owner Dec 26, 2014 Student Traditional Artist

Ahh. I was actually hoping to use the program to
pollish up some hand drawn sketches of mine.

Kuusinen Featured By Owner Dec 21, 2014 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Yeah, that'd be great to have

bruiser128 Featured By Owner Dec 21, 2014 Student Traditional Artist

I agree because you can ACTUALLY use and show your own art style.

Kuusinen Featured By Owner Dec 21, 2014 Hobbyist Digital Artist

yup

when I selected the pencil tool it doesn't have any of the things to change the size of the pencil, why is that?

Kuusinen Featured By Owner Dec 20, 2014 Hobbyist Digital Artist

That's because for some reason your Tool Options dialog is missing. It happens every once in a while.
To restore it, go to Windows - Dockable Dialogs - Tool Options. When the window opens you can either use it windowed or, what is preferable, drag it into the Tool Box window.

TheKonijn24 Featured By Owner Dec 18, 2014 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Great! But I'm to stupid to learn this xD

ToixStory Featured By Owner Dec 18, 2014 Hobbyist Digital Artist

This was excellent, thank you so much for this! I'll be sure to make a map with this for help shortly!

Kuusinen Featured By Owner Dec 19, 2014 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Good to hear

zalezsky Featured By Owner Dec 18, 2014 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Kuusinen Featured By Owner Dec 19, 2014 Hobbyist Digital Artist

Thanks. So what's the contest about?

zalezsky Featured By Owner Dec 19, 2014 Hobbyist Digital Artist
