Here's the sample map I made using this set. Urban sets are a bit more advanced, but with a little elbow grease, you can make some compelling maps.

Here’s the sample map I made using this set. “Ukiyo-e” translates as "picture[s] of the floating world." While the intentional intent was more poetic, I figured it'd be fun to be a bit more literal and use these brushes to make a map of islands and ships drifting among the clouds.

This is my biggest set ever. Over 2000 free brushes! It's the second set in The Moronobu Duo and is based on 東海道分間絵図 or “A Charted Map of the Tōkaidō” a 17th-century ukiyo-e woodblock map by Hishikawa Moronobu.
