Hello! I'm currently working on a map of Earth; it is 4000x3091 px. As you can imagine, I'm have trouble with things like mountains and forests. If I just draw small mountains, it will look like black smudges from a distance. Here is my problem: I cannot scale the map, because it is meant for 8.5"x11" paper, or 13"x19" paper, so I can sell prints on my Etsy store.

Here's what I got so far:

As you can see, mountains and forests are still needed, and they need to somehow be in the fantasy style. I've tried doing them regular size, but it looks utterly disproportional.

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks!
