Fig 1: Draw a triangle with the Stars and Polygons tool We want our line art to be a consistent colour). Give the shape a stroke of 4px and colour #654f45ff (this is the same colour we used for our coastline. Hold the Ctrl key and drag on the canvas to create a triangle making sure the bottom part is level, and not at an angle. Make sure Polygon is selected and the number of corners is set to 3, with the Rounded and Randomised boxes both at zero. Drawing the large mountainĬlick on the Stars and Polygons tool. The clones will be positioned on the map, leaving the original symbols outside the main document. We'll then use Inkscape's Clones feature to create a number of copies of the originals. We're going to create three template symbols: one large mountain, one smaller mountain, and one hill. I like to keep objects like these just above the top of the document page, where they're easily found. The mountains we're about to create will be templates, and we don't want them to show in the main document. In Inkscape, move your canvas view to somewhere just off the main page. I said at the beginning of the tutorial that no art skills were required, and I'm sticking with that! We're going to have a couple of fairly simple styles, but they're still quite visually appealing. There are numerous ways to draw mountains, from simple triangle shapes, to complex, individually drawn chains. Now onto Part Six! Creating mountain symbolsīefore we start, create a new layer and call it 'Mountains'. Part Fourteen - Adding texture and finishing up.Part Thirteen - Map title, compass and scale.Part Six - Creating mountain and hill symbols (this post).Here are the other sections of the tutorial.
This part deals with creating the mountain and hill symbols. This post is the sixth part of a tutorial series that teaches how to create fantasy maps in Inkscape.
