What kind of map are you creating it for, as in deathmatch, capture the flag, infiltration etc. Also what style do you have in mind?

As a new mapper you should start from smaller maps then go to bigger ones. :)

Long flat maps are not really good for race, although SoulSnipa made an icy one where prone-skiing battles ensued...

if you don't want to start off with smaller maps, at least check out race maps other people have made here. ;)

Anna just added a new sketch tool in the latest version of Polyworks.  Use it, it's pretty nifty.

Yeah, it owns. I just used it to sketch out a map that I actually plan to release (gasp, a third piece of crap to add to the pile! :P). Just fill in your sketches afterwards with polygons the best you can.

Didn't vote because 12 minutes is just ludicrous, even though a graveyard theme would be unique and welcomed. The vast majority of maps are jungle themed as it is. I know I'd like to see more variety.
