Mapmaking Tutorial Part 2 -Easy Terrain and Biomes

Hey worldbuilders!

This is part two of my tutorial series on using land mass brushes to create a map of your fantasy world.

(Actually, this tutorial will work for anyone that can place their map shapes on a single layer in an image editor, and can download the texturing brush I've used here.)

In this second tutorial, I demonstrate some of the ways you can lay down biomes and color for your new world map. Using some basic rules for biome placement, you can make a believable working map for any of your projects! Of course, there are going to be better, harder ways of doing this, but with these methods you can get something quick down!

Next up is oceans and waterways, stay tuned! Let me know if there's any topics you'd like to see more information on, such as biomes or tectonics!
