My neighbor saw my hand-drawn map and asked if I was doing homework for a middle school class.

That's fair since hand-drawn maps do kinda look like school projects sometimes.

Tolkien's original Lord of the Rings map was literally a hand drawn piece. It has that same rough charm people call childish now, but it defined a whole genre. Guess style is just a cycle.

Yeah, seth_wells49's point about style being a cycle is spot on. I read that the early maps for Dungeons and Dragons were all hand-drawn on graph paper, with that same kinda rough, practical look. It's funny how that style is now a whole aesthetic people try to copy for fantasy games.
