Wow, at long last I am making videos again! Thank you to everyone here for cracking that Patreon milestone.

You will probably immediately notice a change in style; this video is deliberately casual and slow-paced, and there has also been a drop in audio quality. See, I have put video-creation off for so long because of the setup and interruption involved with each one, and my inability to reach my usual standard while travelling. 

My solution now is to just make do with what I have, wherever I am, and minimise the workload so that I can commit to making maps and not videos. I figure that more average-level videos published is better than my intermittent and burdening workflow before. Plus, I quite like the tea-drinking, laid-back style presented here. I hope that you agree.

That said, there are plenty of easily fixed issues in this video! First thing on my list is to purchase a good mic, as the audio quality is way below my personal standard. I'm also brainstorming some lighting ideas, so that I don't rely so much on the sun shining. Ideally I want it all to be portable, as I seem to be all over the place these days.

Please let me know if you have any solutions to these problems, and please also give your honest feedback regarding the whole video! Does anything stand out that can be improved? I want to hear it.

By the way, my recommendation for best viewing experience is to watch these on YouTube where, in the description, I have a list of shortcuts to different parts of the video that act as a summary. This way you can quite quickly absorb or revise the content, meandering commentary optional!

Of course, if you're like me and like watching long videos while doing other things, I have plenty more plodding commentary coming your way. ;)

Let's Draw Caves (for RPG Battle Maps)

Join me as I try and explain my cave-battle-map-drawing-method using actual English words. This is the first episode in my new, laid-back, "Let's Draw" tutorial series, where I talk through how I go about drawing my battle maps. It's been too long! 4:02 Define your outline (pencil touches paper) 4:11 Draw the wall-ground line 4:57 Draw the wall cross-section line 6:10 Detail your cave wall 10:32 Detail your cave floors 13:17 An alternate style (my old method) 16:25 How I draw stalagmites 17:50 – Stalagmites method 1 18:14 – Stalagmites method 2 19:40 How I draw rubble I have been travelling a lot recently and the lack of a dedicated filming space has stopped me from committing to making videos. My solution now is to just make the best out of whatever space (and time) I have, but that is done at the price of quality. As I go I plan to rectify whatever issues present themselves, such as the poor audio quality here (fear not, a portable microphone is on my shopping list!) So, please leave your feedback below! For now, I hope you still find these valuable in some way.
