I just finished the ink work on a map of my parents neighbourhood, highlighting the local forested areas and some memorable things that happened in their local area. I need to draw in the title and shad in the south-east corners of the trees and lightly tint the parks.

For this project I want to limit myself to sepia so shading with water colour sepia will be key. I am not so happy with the roads and am thinking that I should make those the most darkly shaded tones (to hide some of the poor inking.). Do you think this will detract from the overall image? There are also some parts of the area that climb. I was thinking of tinting these rises with a light shade of sepia to indicate some degree of gradient before the terrain flattens off again. Do you think this would look good?

Any feedback would be much appreciated.
