How to Create a Fantasy Map of Your Own Fictional World

Follow along with today's Photoshop tutorial to create your own fantasy world, just like the fictional story settings of Neverland, Middle-Earth or Westeros. We’ll use Photoshop’s built-in tools to establish the landmass and sea, then construct hills, mountains and deserts with some simple filter combinations, before finishing off the artwork with a vintage paper texture and place names to simulate an old world map.

This kind of fantasy world map is ideal for storybook art, tabletop gaming or children's party invitations. The shape and geography of your landscape is mostly determined by random, so it is interesting to see how your fictional map turns out as you progress through the process. By following the same steps, you can create a unique world every time!
