No! That is exactly what the Map Effects Map Builders are designed to solve. I’ve already drawn the mountains, forests, settlements, ruins, ships, and hundreds of other map features. You arrange and customize them to build your world.
You don’t need previous mapmaking experience. The Map Builders include step-by-step tutorials on the website to take you from a blank canvas to a finished map.
Because you’re building with finished hand-drawn artwork instead of illustrating everything from scratch, you can create a detailed world map in hours rather than days. For reference, a map commission usually takes me between 40-60 hours to do from scratch.

Compatibility varies by product. Each Map Builder, brush pack, and Smart Brush includes files designed for specific drawing apps, so check the compatibility list on the individual product page before purchasing.
Map Effects products are available for many popular drawing apps, including Procreate, Photoshop, Affinity, Clip Studio Paint, and Infinite Painter. Not every product supports every app.
