I am curious as to how y'all did this because I have been working on a map for some time now and, because I have no way to make it digital for another week or so, would like to know how to do this with my map once I get this tablet =o

I just took the original sketch of the map, and went around the map with the pen tool, then resterized that layer, then I just painted the regions by the colours ^misskittyoooo specified before using a textured brush. then overlaying various textures in the areas and on the water

Erm...

Resterized?

Wow I feel so ignorant right now, lol...

sorry, Rasterized.
The pen tool creates path, and they are vector elements, so in order to work with the layer right click on it in the layers window and click on "rasterize"
i tend to do things the hard way, and i work mostly in traditional mediums, but Photoshop is the program with probably the most tutorials on it in the world
