Assuming my tectonics are more or less plausible, I've moved onto elevation and river placement. At the minute, I am trying to make an 'informative' map giving an overview of the terrain and rivers, rather than a fully detailed elevation map. However, I am finding it difficult to create such a map while also making it aesthetically pleasing.

My attempt so far has basically been to shade in mountainous and elevated areas by hand, but I'm not sure if this style works. Any tips/criticism/comments welcome as usual - especially any ideas on what would make the terrain features go better with the map overall (i.e. are they too dark, fuzzy, etc?). Thanks!
