One-Page Dungeon: Learn Hatching

Unfinished dungeon map with hatching and stippling textures

This one took a while! Hatching is definitely a slower process and required a bit for practice to get the texture effect to look right. I decided to fade both the stippling and hatching to hopefully not be too distracting or visually noisy. The hatching texture is a bit inconsistent, as I found myself improving the technique while I was working on it.

Next up on the list is to add some more map illustrations, specifically to the empty rooms, and also to add a water effect to make it obvious where the water is. At some point, I need to learn how to change the canvas dimensions so that this prints will on US letter paper.
