@@Phe_ thats his kids r great at drawing
It's really sweet that you included those drawings by your children. Great Video and something I will certainly try out on my maps.
Love your kids' work! Your shoutouts warm this dad's heart!
(And your stuff was way cool as well)

Dude this just gave me an amazing idea for a book
**Jeff Bezos looks at you from the corner of the map**
Yes! My favorite map maker does a monster tutorial... it's a good day.
Thank you for such an anatomically correct dragon! (the one you drew)
EDIT: I was so impressed with the dragon that I forgot to compliment your transitions. Great work!
I hate to tell you, but dragons don't exist, so there isn't a way to be anatomically incorrect
I'm glad I'm not alone ever since I was a kid I always love to draw maps and especially fantasy maps
Honestly such a unique, chilled out channel. Thanks for existing..!
Aw man this is just what I needed, thanks
this is dope !
This is really cool. Now I can make my maps more unique
Thanks now I can add an imposter to my map
Cool. Nice dragons.
kraken rum is incredible
Glad to have you back, Nate. I'm a teacher too, so I know how hard it is to find the time to make videos.
Thanks! :)
Thanks for this great video.
Came in super handy while drawing a 2*1m map for my sons pirate themed bithday.
Awesome! What a dad!
@@WASD20 this is just possible because I found your channel
That sparked my interest in map drawing so thanks for that
I really love the title cards on this one!!
finally another vid :D
Glad to see another mapping vid! Great topic. Keep it up!
This is very helpful
beautiful drawing, could learn a lot from you!!!!
Thinks you for helping me with my pirate map
Thanks Nate - particularly like the tentacled monster! Also, Kraken Rum is AWESOME and worth trying 😀
I have a few ideas for good monsters but it's difficult thinking of good creatures and their aspects and abilities. Also a good opportunity to add to Lore.
Thanks man I love these videos. Really helpful so keep up the good work!
Thanks for the kind words.
Video Idea(s) (that I'd love to see):
Maps by purpose - In world maps are ofcourse drawn for an in world purpose. What key features, details, and styles correspond to these different purposes? How does the key/legend and imagery change to portray the important information? (Sea trade map = Illustration of currents and winds + compass/latitude lines/sea monsters + Port information (goods, prices, services); Travelling circus map = travel routes/dangers + information about towns (laws, dispositions, entertainment preferences); Inflate the kings ego = colours + gold filligree + exaggerated proportions
Maps with super unusual purposes - How to figure out how to draw a map for a super unusual purpose. What information does it need to portray? How can that be made pretty? How can that be made intuitive/accessible for players/readers who aren't going to have experience with that type of map before? (Map for sailing a magic, sky ship = multi height wind currents + high altitude springs for water + magical considerations for flying (idk ley lines?); Time travel mechanics = representing parallel universes, paradoxes, linchpin events + representing the events or status quo of different timelines + anything pertinent to how time travel and it's effects work in your system; The planes = Representing 'planes' graphically + representing their occupants, physical properties, etc. + representing the whole multiverse 'layout' such as spiritual relationships, travel between them (I'm thinking Yggdrasil maps))
Historic maps - how to draw them (and maybe a touch about why they looked like that did and how to make sense of them)
i love your maps there amazing
If I remember correctly, Sea monsters on historical maps meant dangerous waters
That would explain the Charybdis and Scylla location that took so many ships back then in the ancient Greek. So, good point you got there. Also the old mermaids that were half women half birds which attacked sailors in the Mediterranean Sea.
@@OwlFromValimus By those old mermaids do you mean sirens? Or however it is spelled?
@@clockworkpotato9892 yes, sorry jahshsg I was just thinking in Spanish so, maybe the definition isn't quite the same
@@OwlFromValimus It's okay
So cute to see that your kid is drawing too!
I love the that the mythic land of Thule (Tile) is displayed in the tumbnail. Hail to the Northern Chaos Gods
funny how both the giant squid and octopus eventually were proven to exist, the one just lives very deep, the other in the pacific... as for most of the other sea monsters whales were probably the main inspiration... on many maps these beasts seem to be exhaling powerful jets of air after all. people were pretty familiar with dolphins, and most knew these were also mammals, but whales were more obscure.. have you heard of the walvischboeck? a 16th century book that's kept in the city library of Antwerp... Adriaen Coens was one of the first to do some serious observations of whales, but his drawings are still similar to the earlier maps :D
I clicked fast but the video ended even faster. Loved so much, thank you
Dangit Nate, not even a minute into the video and I had to dip out to Amazon to buy a book! Scandalous!! :p
Lol. Sorry! 😁
@@WASD20 nah, don't be! I'm happy to support the authors and learn more about the history of the hobby - and the profession that birthed it. I'm playing with the Society for Creative Anachronism and thinking hard about bringing my cartography into that space so solid reference material is appreciated!
Love these ideas. Stealing this for my nautical campaign.
Nice!
What if you drew giants on a map?
That's an amazing idea! Thanks
Kraken rum is soooo yummy definitely recommend
I love your son's drawings. Maybe we will all be subscribed to his channel in 10 years. 👍🏻😀
Edit: And your daughter, too. Great!
Hi, Nate. Great illustrations! I was wondering if you have produced any maps which involve
a treasure trove or a hidden hoard? Dragons optional!
Directional markers of a compass
In one of my campaigns the players, after clearing an owlbears den, drew a sign with an owlbear's face and "I can't enter here" on the map.
From the same campaign, a very crude drawing of a spider with boobs on top of a drider's forest.
👍

How to draw a compass Rose?
Here’s a vid: th-cam.com/video/j0nAr3hVe8s/w-d-xo.html
can you do drawing animal's to maps please

This video was just an excuse for Nate to flex his kids drawing skills xD
I wonder if he ever feels tempted to say "WASD" instead of "W-A-S-D" in his intro
Space fillers... Road signs.. ECT.
