Fantasy Worldbuilding - Forests and Monsters

A couple of weeks ago, I made the video: Fantasy Worldbuilding – Mountains and Monsters.
Fantasy Worldbuilding - Mountains and...

Here is a follow-up video where I talk about worldbuilding tricks and tips about forests, while drawing trees and woodland landscapes.

For those who are new to the channel and wondering what Eastern Farraway is:
It is a fantasy campaign world that I’ve created together with my players during the last 25 years or so. It’s heavily Norse-inspired and this is also the world where all of Midnight Tower’s books are set.

If you’ve any tips about worldbuilding, or want to share a little bit about your worldbuilding process or fantasy map tips, feel free to leave a comment below. (I read all of them and try to answer any questions.)

Thanks for watching, and remember: Always stay creative!
