I cringe a little at starting a new thread here because so many go unfinished, but I really want to learn how to do a detailed cross-blended hypsometric shaded relief world map that I can use as a base to make smaller regional maps later on.

I've only just blocked out the main land masses so far, and just started adding some detail to a small area today, but I thought I'd start a WIP to get some critique as I'm finding this style of coasts difficult to get a handle on.

The grey areas are just a rough block out that will probably change quite a bit, and the white part is where I've started to try and refine things a little.
