First of all you get a very nice tutorial in every edition of the Annual, this makes it very easy to learn a new style, you can just follow the steps described. Thirdly there was a black and white city style released in the 2010 annual from Profantasy. Secondly I looked up some tutorials, especially Gandwarfs tutorials over at the cartographer’s guild where extremely helpful. I started out quite small with a little village and first after a couple of small practice maps I went for the bigger cities or towns. So how did I go from there to where I am now? Well the answer can actually be divided in three parts. The first time I started the program I think I just closed it immediately.

It is a great program with a huge toolbox you can use to make the creation of your cities a much smoother experience. Most of my city maps I make in the program City designer 3 (CD3) from profantasy.
