I too thought that JRR had done the map. Another fantastic video The Lord of the Rings. Map was the first fantasy map I ever saw. I constantly referenced it whole re reading the book. It is in the back of my mind as I draw. Thanks for the tribute and analysis. I look forward to drawing my own. John aka the Angry Dwarf

Great work. For the forest, to make the trees appear less like rows, add each circle randomly when expanding and not in a row. Keep in mind to not to make the circle identical to the ones next to it.

Great stuff as always Nate, was really cool seeing you put this together. I think the "scribbly" style for the mountain shading works very well - I'd never noticed that in the original until you pointed it out. I might try a little map myself :-)

Also, something that has just occurred to me - I think the "X marks the spot" thing you reference is actually a picture of two crossed sabres, to show a battle site? The UK's national mapping agency, the Ordnance Survey, used to use that symbol, so it would have been familiar to Tolkien. Could be wrong.

I know this video is 3 years old, but something I feel like you missed with the mountain shading is that Christopher Tolkien's mountains seem to be less about scribbles and more a 3D drawing of mountains with three tones, the darkest tone (the black), the midtone (the hatching), and the lightest tone (the white.) While the scribbly black still looks good I think to get closer to that style, the side of the mountain facing away from the invisible light source to the left should be shaded with diagonal hatching (perhaps with a line outlining the hatching as is visible on one of the mountains near the "Anorien" label) and then have the darkest parts to the mountain be shaded in with solid black.

This is a fantastic video, Nate. Possibly my favourite of your mapping videos. I may be biased by my love of Middle Earth and the maps, though. Thank you for pointing out the style and showing us your own version; it’s awesome.

Pretty sure the 'x marks the spot' is meant to be 2 crossed swords, the ones of the map mark 2 important historical battles. The battle of the celebrant field and the battle of dagorlad.

Nicely done. To my eye, Christopher's mountains seem to be rows of a handful of mountains drawn behind another row in the foreground until the range is complete.

Hi there, fellow cartographer. There is much more material to the map and more maps itself. I've did a lot of research on this and the grid based map where he tracks the miles and days of travel is even more impressive but not as pretty.

Great idea. I like the map. Maybe you can practice your handwriting with pencil. If you were doing this whole project from scratch, I would think pre-sketching this out in rough draft will help you place (leave room for) the text. My guess is Christopher probably did several drafts to get it just so...
