“You’re not writing the letters, you’re drawing them.”
Damn, that’s some hippy Druid-level wisdom right there; I like it.
Same is true for calligraphy: your drawing letters, not writing them. :-)
Wow!!
Bob Ross: here we put a big happy letter.... And maybe this letter has a little friend.... Because we all need a little friend
@@ericdpeerik3928 Well, the first is gonna be a capital letter, so it indeed gets little friends. :)
I have crappy handwriting. I decided years ago that I was better off "drawing" my letters
that map is worthy to be placed in a frame and set upon the wall for all to see. Nice job.
YOU NEED TO STOP, YOUR MAKING ME (someone who never draw before) WANTING TO TRY OUT AND CREAT A D&D CAMPAING, PLS STOP.... PLS..... CONTINUE
DOOOOO ITTTTTT!!!
WHY ARE WE YELLING
@@veran8770 YELLING IS FUN
@@chuck2703 THATS A VERY GOOD POINT
I LIKE YELLING TOO
This video is 3 years old and I just learned that lettering isn't writing, it's drawing.
Friggin.
Thank you.
It is so lovely seeing someone talking about a topic that they are genuinely interested about.
keep up with the good job.
Started making an eye ball and shaded it in with alchohol markers, when I took a step back it looked like an island surrounded by water with more land surrounding it. A superimposed treasure map was just the finishing touch it needed. You helped me achieve this vision and I can't wait to frame it and enjoy it forever now!👍❤ big thumbs up and Thankyou for sharing your time and talent!
😅
You're the Bob Ross of fantasy maps.
The biggest thing about my art is that I strive for perfection so much that I forget to experiment and remember that this is for my pleasure and for me to keep improving. This video has given me lots of great ideas and Im super inspired to just go try some new stuff out. If it works it works, if it doesn't it doesn't!
I'm a brazilian whriter and certainly will make use of this video to draw the map of my world, it will get life! For you, the only thing i can say is: Thanks!
13:50 i got a heart attack when you did that
It's not the video we needed it's the video we deserve
Your voice is very relaxing to listen to, I told this to my girlfriend and she’s jealous 🤣 Great video man! Your art style is amazing to me!
Hah!
Lol
I like so much his pronunciation, i'm not a native English speaker, and i can understand almost everything he says
I can literally watch hours worth of your content without pause, it is entertaining and really helpful! Thanks a lot for the great work!
Love your approach to mapmaking! You make it look so easy and your explanations take away all the fear of just try. I’m planning ob starting my own campaign, as soon as we’re allowed to play in person again and meet up with more than one more household again.
Thank you for your videos!
Fantastic video. Loved your planning and lists and how you broke down the whole process. Will try it on my next map. Thanks
SOooo cool, I love your teaching, I will use it for sure ! Un grand merci à toi !
I've been watching your videos for the last hour, and I can't get more impressed on how CLEAN your lines are. It makes your art pop so much. Great job, dude!
I always love on these fantasy maps those parts of the continent where there is an island chain or an assembly of islands somewhere. I always think ''Í want to go here and see what is on each and every one of these islands even if it's just some plants or brushes'' to me this is always an experience I still end up remembering later on in almost any game.
Very inspiring and encouraging - thanks!
I have been really interested in fantasy mapmaking as of late. A great introduction, thanks so much
Really digging your enthusiasm. Takes me back to my college days jamming in the art labs with classmates and then later with the community arts programs. Never loose that energy, Brother.
Amazing tutorial. All these instructions are do clear and now i want to go start drawing as soon as possible! Lets start a new map!
Wow! This is soooooo good. I've always been too intimidated to try drawing a map but your breaking down of all the steps definitely made it more approachable! Going to give it a shot
Woooo! You can do it!!!
Beatiful! Really inspiring. Thank you.
WOW! LOVE THIS! I’m going to show this to my young students, for fun project to go with studying Tolkien and the Hobbit. 👏🤩👍
No questions. This is great!!!
There's no other "how to draw" that excites you! This work is amazing. I'll try to draw it too. Thank you for letting me know!
JP - Love how excited you are about everything you share! Really inspiring!
Love it! Thank you! I love drawing my Fantasy Maps
I could watch you draw maps all day long.
This is one of the coolest things! Thanks for taking the time to do this, you had my full attention the whole vid!
I love all of your RPG map videos.
I am worldbuilding for a story I am writing, and this was the best video on fantasy mapmaking. Awesome!
You really inspire me. Thank you.
Great art and great advice. Love your channel!
Your encouragement sparks inspiration in me! I'm literally crying! The map looks so beautiful! 😭😭😭
Man I must say
I just stumbled upon the video containing instructions for the Tolkien map and I am hooked. The drawings are beyond beautiful.
I will definitely use some techniques for the map of my story!
I always tought i can't draw but you made me believe in myself. Thank you so much!
Great Video - you explained the whole process and this is very important. Often the process starts at a blank paper (and everybody know how scary a blank paper can be), you begin to draw and it doesn't work out, so you are frustrated in no time. So important to be patient and think about what youre going do! Thank you for sharing this!
This... This is awesome. Thank you.
That's a nice piece, very clean linework complimented by the simplistic iconography.
Great tutorial! And the map itself is simply wonderful-I mean, I want to go there!
Fantastic! I cant wait to do this
Thanks for the helpful video!
You are my hero! Amazing.
I love your map and your technique! Our older son has drawn a map and we can improve it with your technique, thank you very much!
Wow, it's amazing
I love this, thank you
This video helped me make a map of my local bush that I explored and found cool land marks
This is an awsome map
Awesome. Thanks.
I love drawing world maps. Looks great JP!
Why on Earth is this video so freaking satisfying?!
Such a great guide! Cheers
That is a amazing map
Thank you for making this it helped so much
I loved this!
wow i am impressed by the names
I know I'm very late, but I am studying to become an art teacher and this seems like an awesome thing to do with my students when the time comes!
I will most definitely use this for my ttrpg sessions too. Thank you for the very easy to follow tips and tricks! You inspired me :)
You are the Bob Ross of maps
I can watch you create them all day!
Thank you Good Sir 🎩
I just spent 2 hours drawing a map with a huge island in shape of "🖕" as a birthday card for our DM, with all the players names integrated inside the locations xD
Thank you so much for all the hints in the video!!
This was super helpful!!! Thank you for this video!
There are a lot of fantasy map making videos and JP Coovert is not too loud and he is not to Quiet, he is also interactive with his viewers in the videos
awesome work !
Those videos are so great! It's been helping me with my campaign and I've been helping my friends campaign too. It has also been such a great relaxing therapeutic exercise for me. I'm dealing better with my depression and panic attacks with exercises like this. Thank you so much for your work!
This means so much to me! So glad drawing can help! Keep going!!!!
Great video. Just finished making my first map!
You're the Bob Ross of DnD. (And I love it.)
i learnt absolutely loads from your video 🙌🙌 thank you so much …. in fact i drew my map i had in my head as, as you were going through the steps x this is what you tube is all about
I think i might’ve found myself a new hobby. Thanks for the videos, I would never know how map making can be relaxing and rewarding… looks amazing!
It was really great to watch this video thank you for your work !!
Stuff you post is so great! I think showing players maps of cities, continents, dungeons helps them imagine the world, environment's without drowning them in a ton of verbal details.
Wish we could play D&D one day at the same table! :D
This is amazing. I'm a new DM. And I am loving your videos on creating maps and towns and stuff like this. Thanks for the video man. God bless!
"drawing is awesome, making maps is awesome, yeah!" haha, right on brutha!
I love how you made the tutorial of this video so simple for people of all levels of talent. 😉
Omg I just watched you for the first time, I love you!!! Your enthusiasm for it is magical
Very Good Job! Thank you for the teaching,I needed it!😆
Great tutorials, JP 🙂
Love this. Me and my son are drawing different worlds. Thanks
I'm very happy that I found you here. You helped me a lot to draw Map's for my homebrew setting for D&D. Best wishes from germany.
AWESOME!
Thank you. I am an ESL teacher. The class is learning about reading/interpreting different types of maps. Final assignment is to draw a fantasy map with story. My class will enjoy your video. Thanks again.
Wats a ESL teacher???

Wonderful
I just love watching you draw maps! It really inspires me to help with the one I'm doing for a book I'm writing. Thank you!
Ooh writing, i like making stories and small books even though im only 11 what's yours about and what is the name of it😊😊😊
Thank you. I'm preparing to create a map for a story I'm writing.
damn, even the planning stage looks 👌
You are the best, mate!
It's so good
This is an amazing video. I'm a Fantasy Author, currently writing my second series, and I've just designed the map. Instead of hiring an illustrator, or having my Publisher bring it to life, I really wanted to have a pop at it myself this time. This video has inspired me to do so. Thank you, sir.
Awesome!
I love your teaching style and attitude it makes people like me who sometimes doubt their own skill really have the confidence to try without the fear of failure so thanks for being awesome
Thank you! Have fun making stuff!
Wow!
recommended by TH-cam algorithm by chance.. love your vids.. makes me want to draw my own fantasy maps now.. instantly subscribe 👍
You make this sooooo much easier than I thought it was gonna be! I made a map myself and it came out super cool my friends want me to teach them and i just point them here lol
it's perfect, I need how to draw a map for my fantasy story
Thank you very much! I struggle with map making, and I have a campaign starting soon. YYoure a life saver!
Glad it helps! I'm sure your players will love your map!!!
You’re awesome at drawing maps
Thank you very much indeed, sir.
WOW! This is made with such careful attention to detail! It's a lot cleaner than my maps. The erasing really makes a difference; that white space is super crucial to helping make the landscapes and pen details pop. Just to let you know, I actually love composing musical themes for OC's, ranging from Celtic, orchestral to epic battle music. I find that music can really help a character come to life and complement their visual presentation. Let me know if you ever need music for a character or project!
Thanks,great vid
Omg your little castles and forts are so cute!! I love them 😂
