So, as I grow in cartographic skills I've settled in on regional maps. Here I've done about 1/5th of a continent ideally.

Here is the current progress on this region called Sarnasia. Inspiration for this map might be apparent in that avid players of WoW might recognize the general shape of the land as reminiscent of southern part of the "Eastern Kingdoms" map. Totally not a coincidence, when I run low on ideas I do at times at least borrow shapes.

However with this map I am having a debate within myself of how to represent forests or if I should. I have one version with forests apparent.... (Link)

Should I directly represent forests or just label were large woodlands are?
