I have a recommendation! https://azgaar.github.io/Fantasy-Map-Generator/

I used it for making continent shapes I had difficulty visualizing. It's got a lot of settings so you can really refine it! I exported PNGs of results here and made them look more fantasy in Inkarnate.

Oh that's cool. I just drew mine on paper. But it's still a cool tool to use

ohhh yeah - maps are freaking absurdly difficult! so many details that influence other details!

Also trying to draw one that doesn't look like Earth is annoyingly difficult. I had the idea of using a NASA map of Mars or something

oh, that's a good idea! i've seen plenty of tips - snow piles, dice, rice, changing sea level on existing maps, etc

I think there are probably as many ways as there are people drawing maps
