Tip
When painting a terrain by hand, it is a good idea to have a reference image of the
terrain type at hand. That way we can, for example, see how grass grows on
slopes, or snow gathers on mountains, and produce more realistic results. Always
start by painting in broad strokes, gradually painting with smaller and smaller
brushes.
