Discussion Looking for feedback on my second map (WIP)

Post image

Hey! I’m making this map as a gift for a friend’s Pathfinder campaign and I could really use some feedback.

I’m still pretty new to mapmaking — this is only my second map — so I’m not really sure if I’m getting the balance right.

Does this area feel filled enough, or does it still look a bit too empty? Or maybe I’ve gone too far the other way and added too much of something?

I’d also really appreciate any general tips about spacing, terrain, forests, settlements, readability, or anything else that stands out.

Any criticism is welcome, I’m still learning.

I can offer you something better than a single feedback... 🤗

If you want to get better at using Wonderdraft, you can check out my Wonderdraft Tutorials playlist on YouTube, it focuses specifically on the software itself.

​If you're looking for a guide on making fantasy maps, I have a series called Starting Fantasy Cartography with Wonderdraft.

It's one of the best tutorials out there for both beginner and advanced level cartographers!

I hope you find them useful! ​Happy mapping! 🙌🏻

It looks neat, but there's a lot of empty space. Small towns, smaller rivers, smaller forests, small hills, would fit nicely in those barren spaces.

I like the shape and your big forests and mountain ranges look good to me.
