Hi everyone!

I’m new to Inkarnate and still learning how to use all the tools and features. To get the hang of things, I’ve been recreating existing maps and experimenting with different styles. Most recently, I finished recreating a fork in the road, and I’m thinking of having my players face an ambush there in an upcoming session.

One area I’m struggling with is making my ground textures not look flat. I’d love any advice on how to add more depth or variation to make the terrain feel more natural and immersive.

If you have feedback on the map overall—like the design, layout, or how I could better set the scene for the ambush—I’d be super grateful.

Thanks so much for checking it out! This community has been so inspiring, and I’m excited to keep learning and improving!
