Choosing the right software for fantasy digital cartography - Mapmaking 101. Ep. 2

This is the second episode of the Mapmaking 101 series, where I share what I've learned and discovered through the last couple of years of my cartographer's journey.
This episode lists some apps and programs that you can pick for your mapmaking trials.

In the series I will talk about tips, tricks, but I will focus on the practical aspects of digital fantasy cartography. We will pick a tool together, find proper assets and start making maps in no time. If you're interested of course. The series is aimed for people that want to get into the hobby or are new to it, but I bet that more experienced mapmakers will also find some interesting stuff here.
