The nine provinces of the Novestat

[Gadiouka]

Hi everyone,

Here is my first map, I look forward to your comments/critics! I did it the barbarian way: drew it on paper, then took a photo of the sheet, then transfered the photo on my computer and colored it using Photofiltre, the only software I’m comfortable with so far. That explains the not-so-sharp details, and I really hope to improve myself on this.
The map represents the Novestat, a kind of federal state composed of nine distincts provinces (hence de “nove”). I still haven’t figured out how/where to put the provinces’ names without it getting overwhelming (some for the forests and mountains ranges). I also have to add the mains roads and railroads, but now that I’ve switched to a full digital mode I’m a bit at loss as to how to draw these.

Thanks again for stopping by
