20130401 Monday: Worldbuilding

[clare_dragonfly]

Today I drew a map of the settled areas of a planetary colony for a story I'm writing. Anybody else like drawing maps? I had a cool guide to drawing a map of an entire created planet, figuring out where the continental plates were and stuff, but I can't find it now. I'd love to see other worldbuilding resources, if anyone has any they like.
