While the lay out is not what I thought it would be - it does offer a lot of good advice, I found the bits on names and tags most helpful.

Great Resource Material, Some Pages Dinged Up.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 19, 2022

The media could not be loaded.

I have previously purchased the authors other book, about making maps, and can say I was extremely pleased. They are simple enough that one can merely browse them to glean helpful, useful, info. But they also offer deeper info to better understand what you may be trying to illustrate.

If I had to make one complaint, it’s in the shipping. Both books I ordered arrived slightly dinged up. Would be great if better care was taken by the shipper to make sure the books arrived in better condition. Overall, I am pleased with the purchase, just disappointed with its condition upon arrival. I tend to like to keep my reference books in good condition but these already have dings. Would recommend.

I got this for my 10-year-old nephew who's crazy about D&D. It's great for drawing both worlds maps and combat maps. I might order a copy for myself!

Not what I expected, but a great product

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on January 8, 2021

Verified Purchase

This product is beautifully designed. Each page is attractive, full-color, and very informative, so I won't knock down its rating for what it is.
However, it's not quite what I expected. I expected a book explaining how towns are designed, how they evolve, how many people make up a town vs. how many guards there are per person, how many of each type of building a medieval town has, and so forth. This book focuses mostly on how to draw specific types of buildings and town geography from a bird's eye view for maps, complete with what drawing tools are best, along with step-by-step instructions. It does explain a little bit about how towns develop, but I'd say this book as a whole is for middle school kids and teenagers interested in map cartography. I was hoping for a more in-depth look for adults.

Again, though, for what this book is, it's wonderful. Just be aware it's not a super complex in-depth look that advanced map makers might be looking for. If you're a beginner, it may be just what you're looking for.

EXCELLENT RESOURCE FOR THE SUBJECT!!!

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 17, 2019

Verified Purchase

As was the first book of this kind by this very author, this book is EXCELLENT! Especially for people designing games or WRITERS of fantasy books for children and teens! Heck even for adults! This book is almost like a continuation of the first book. The first book focused in-depth on mapping out the OVERALL WORLD... Now this one zooms in on mapping out individual areas like cities, towns, castles, settlements, moats, farms, etc.!... The two books together--this one and the first--are an ABSOLUTE GOLDMINE--BUY!!!

Perfect for beginners

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on November 19, 2019

I have always drawn maps but always used someone else's stuff for villages, towns and cities. I have been trying things straight from the book for two weeks now and I think alot of my villages look better than the ones I was using. Very imformative for a beginner and has renewed my enthusiasm for drawing. I have his first book also and really liked that too. Can't wait for the next.

Great for anyone that likes maps.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

I bought this because I already own Fantasy Art and RPG Maps. This is just as good, carrying on where the author left off and fleshing out the countryside with towns and villages, essential items for any kingdom. Great for anyone that likes maps, whether to create them for RPG's, to add detail to that long saga you're reading or just to have fun making your own worlds.

Für Kartenzeichner von Städten und co ein mus!

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on November 21, 2019

Verified Purchase

Ja da hat uns mal wieder der Verlag warten lassen.....ABER das Warten hat sich gelohnt!
Kann man sich verbessern? JA man kann! Mit diesem Buch hat sich Jared Blando zu seinem Vorhergehenden Werk How to DrawFantasy Art and RPG Maps, 100% verbessert.

War das erste Buch auch schon eine gute Anleitung, gab es dort mehr allgemeine Ideen und Anregungen. Hier gibt es das was sich jeder Kartenzeichner Wünscht, viele verschiedene Ideen und Step by Step Zeichnungen zu verschiedensten Themen, wie unterschiedliche Häuser, Berge, Mienen, Steinbrüche!!! und viel mehr (wirlich mehr!). Auch Grundsätzliche Ideen zu Dörfern, Städten und Burgen werden hier behandelt. Schön auch der kleine Abstecher in die Heraldik.

Kleines Mini Manko auch hier ist wieder sehr viel mit dem PC gezeichnet worden,Linien die Vorher durchgezogen waren sind im letzten Schritt plötzlich durchbrochen. Bei PC Zeichungen kein Problem, wenn man sofort mit Fineliner los legt kann es schwierig werden. Somit ist es wirklich ratsam vorher zuerst wirklich die einzelnen Schritte GENAU zu betrachten und DANN Loszulegen mit den Zeichnen. (Auch wenn Brando viel von Bleistiftzeichnungen redet, eine schöne Karte entsteht meist mit Finelinern)

Wenn man dies Beherzigt bekommt man sehr schnell wunderbare Ergebnisse.
Ein Buch auf das sich das Warten wirklich gelohnt hat.
Somit kann es nur 5 von 5 Kompasnadeln geben. Für ein schönes Schritt für Schritt Buch welches das Kartenzeichnen von Dörfern, Städten, Burgen und mehr behandelt.

Wer sich mehr dem ALLGEMEINEN Phantastischen Kartenzeichnen zuwenden will dem Empfehle ich das erste Buch von Brando.

Ich hoffe wir sehen noch mehr...vielleicht ein drittes Buch über Kerker und Unterirdische Karten?

Schönes Buch

Ich habe mir dieses Buch geholt, weil ich lernen wollte schöne Karten für meine Runden zu zeichnen. Davor habe ich immer aus einen 45° Winkel die Gebäude gezeichnet, weil ich gleubte, dass man sonst die Details nicht erkennen kann. Das Buch hier hat das Gegenteil bewiesen. Man kann sehr schnell ohne große künstlerische Begabung die Tipps im Buch umsetzen und schöne Karten zeichnen. Für meine Karte habe ich keine Stunde gebraucht...

Jared Brando é riuscito ad insegnarmi a disegnare mappe per i GdR a 45 anni di età e senza alcun background artistico di sorta.

Stra, stra, straconsigliato a chi vuole disegnare mappe di città ed insediamento con un livello variabile ed adattabile di esito.

Mi ha davvero incuriosito scoprire il modo di approcciarsi nel disegno presentato in questo libro e nella sua vecchia edizione del 2015.
Seppur vengono trattati metodi per la realizzazione di mappe per giocatori, può tornare davvero utile anche nella realizzazione di scenari e ambientazioni.
Come Graphic Designer e Modellatore 3D ho apprezzato questo libro e lo suggerisco per coloro che vogliono scoprire nuove tecniche artistiche e diversi punti di vista.
