First of, all you need is a map editor.

You cant just open up a map editor and map like the big boys, it takes time to learn and have the right mind set and eyes for details.
always try to improve, and one big thing that is gonna make your maps pop like no other is using RAW. if you use auto border your map is not gonna come close to being amazing.

another thing to help you on your way is to take inspiration from others, spend a lot of time watching mapping threads and look for styles/details that you really like and try make your own thing out of it.

Map a couple of things and post a thread ask for feedback and learn from it.
that is my best advice on becoming a good mapper.

hope to see you grow in the mapping game, Welcome...

Map your own stuff a lot. Do NOT edit others' maps. Imagine something cool and try to get it done.

Also, it takes time... I've been mapping for about 10 years or so, I'm satisfied with my style and work but there are tons of other mappers with different awesome ideas around the forum, so you should probably check them out a lot.
