Affinity Publisher
I was really impressed with Homebrewery but I decided I wanted more creative control over my modules so I decided to buy the Affinity Suite which consists of Affinity Publisher, Designer, and Photo. These modules work together really well and if you are looking to design your own modules like me, and you don't want to pay for Adobe, I suggest you go with Affinity. I am glad I got the Affinity suite though because I don't think I would have gotten very far with just Publisher. Designer and Photo are pretty much necessary additions to this.

My Current Map Sketch Process
For the river draw single jagged line going up into the hills. Leave plenty of gaps. Add a second jagged line. Start filling in the gaps. Don't forget to add some bridges, foliage, islands, and lakes along the river. The two banks of the river will be similar but different.
To color in the hills I start with dark brown in the shadows and some pale yellow on the sunny side. Add light brown lightly to blend the other two colors, finally burnish with pale yellow or white if you feel like it.
To draw hills start with sort of a rolling ridge line in pencil. Then add some hills with pen and start shading the shady side of them. Add some forests next to the hills and some outcrops in the forest.
