Here's another of Chris Perkins' hand drawn map sketches for Curse of Strahd. This is the Blue Water Inn (following on from Old Bonegrinder and the Vistani Camp). As with the previous sketches, these may contain spoilers, so view them at your own peril! The book itself comes out March 15th (11 days earlier for preferred stores).

So, it's clear to me that Perkins traded his hands for a CAD unit.

I hope those are the style of maps in the actual book....b/w, clean, easy to read. I hope these aren't "sketches" that he's going to give to some other artist-cartographer to wreck them by turning them into a blurry, coloured mess that costs several thousand dollars to create.
Perkins maps there give me a feeling of the old hand-drawn Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay maps (1st edition) at the back of the core rules ("Wayside Shrine", "Typical Farmstead", etc). Those maps always brought forth such a strong feeling of...believability?...to me. To this day, my mapping style for above-ground mapps looks much like those do (and, consequently, Mr.Perkins maps here, with some slight artistic changes, of course).

I'm afraid you're going to be very disappointed. These are sketches given to the cartographer.
