Ready for a new challenge? I see people share little to no maps at all. Time to change that as I challenge you to draw a map. Can be any map - your country's, map from a conflict or a world map! Here are some tips on how to make the perfect map for your animation! 1) Find a map online, one with good quality and with everything labeled. I find GeaCron and mapz to be awesome quality websites for historical maps although a normal Google search also does the work 2) Put it in your animation software and trace it on a new layer. If there are countries in war paint them in one colour or slightly different shade of the same colour (usually red and blue, but you can try to be different). Don't forget about the sea and paint it blue as well. I make the sea in my animations very dark blue as that helps with contrast. 3) Draw the rivers and the lakes. You maybe have to use another map for that so try to align it with your map. Make the rivers and the lakes the same colour as the sea. 4) Finally show the cities and the forts. Make small point on each of the city's location and make it white with black stroke (Or the opposite way). The capitals or the important cities can have a slightly bigger point. If you make a map of a Medieval war you can label the cities with more fancy font and use fort images instead of points (You will see an example from my Ottoman empire video) Try to use all the tips to make good map. If you add rivers and cities your map and video will look 10x better Just compare my History of France video with the most recent History of Japan Waiting to see your maps my friends! (Bonus points if you add countryballs to it as well)
