I'm going to try using google translator in this mini tutorial to try to make communication easier, taking into account that my english is very bad.
the intention of this explanation is to work quickly in the production of maps as well as techniques that I discovered by myself during the use of the program, adapted to my style of map that allow me to work very quickly.
1 - select mike schley overland style and a background. I forgot to print the first image with only the mountains on the map (they will appear when I refresh the third image). Distribute the mountains quickly, without thinking too much about the juxtaposition.
Comments
2 - on top right, colors i selected to work after placing the mountains, go to the symbols background sheet, select the hills, change the color to vary the hue and quickly place around the mountain range.
Click Click Click machine gun mouse as fast as possible
3 - refresh the drawing using mouse wheel up or down and watch the mountains appear, the hills will automatically appear in front and behind
4 - Create a SYMBOLS TREES BACK sheet and place it below SYMBOLS and above SYMBOLS BACK.
5 - Quickly, place the groups of trees only at the back of the mountains.
6 - Refresh the drawing. surrounded by red lines, points that didn't look so good, in case of preciousness, go back and fix those specifics.
7 - Now change to SHEET SYMBOLS TREES and place the click click click trees in the front and corners of the mountain bases. I changed the color of the trees just to identify what is in SYMBOLS TREES BACK from those in SYMBOLS TREES.
8 - I suggest to be careful especially in the encounters of Symbols and Symbols back Sheets, Note the encounter of the Hills with the mountains are not in a perfect way. There must be attention to, using the trees, cover the imperfections.
9 - hidden imperfections using tree icons.
10 - skeleton of the drawing starting to take shape
11 - Create one SHEET > SYMBOLS TREES GRASS and place it below the SHEET SYMBOLS BACK
12 - Select Scrub vegetation image, make sure you are working on Sheet SYMBOLS TREES GRASS and not on symbols tree. Quickly click click fly around the mountains wherever you want.
13 - refresh image
13 - to add more colors to the drawing, select dunes and a different color, in this case I chose brown 36 (I believe), put them on the SYMBOLS sheet and choose their places quickly.
14 - Because they are on the SYMBOLS sheet, once I refresh the drawing, they are automatically behind the trees (SYMBOLS TREES), in case you want the same effect behind, you will have to create a SHEET SYMBOLS hills/dune back and place it below from Symbols BACK and above Symbols trees back. That way they will also automatically go to the right place, under the trees behind.
15 - Create your river and experience problems at the source. I don't want to redo it because I'm lazy
16 - Hide The river orign with some trees.
Less then 5 minutes, 50% of your map is ready :)
17 - Always Have the Rule of Thirds in mind.
