    Default Unnamed continened - request for help with coastline

    Hi guys

    So I've got this continent that I've created for a world map I've been working on, and I'm having some trouble with this part of coastline. I find it quite boring and plain and I was wondering if anyone has any ideas or tips on how to make it more interesting and less like a big ol' blob, however drastic the changes are.

    It's roughly around the same size of South America or just a little bit bigger

    Thanks in advance!

    Hmmm, I think take a solid brush with jagged edges and put a random angle on a brush dynamic(Don't know what it is called in PS)(Either eraser or paint with it. I erased.)

    I actually would leave it as is, its more realistic, just look at the real continents seen from space and you see that you do not see many jagged coastlines, by your image I can figure a mountain range running on northern coast and lowground and rivers on running from there toward the southern coasts.

    Could you add a bay or a hook to the shore.
