Hello, Guild! I just finished taking way too long to ink a map, and before I start coloring in the scan digitally I want to solicit some feedback.

My goal was just to make fill an illustrative style map with as many details as I could. My inspiration came from a picture I took in Kakadu National Park, Australia, and the way stands of trees form in ski resorts in the Rocky Mountains, such as Winter Park. Here's my scan:

Then, I went through with a light gray marker and added shadows to all the 3D elements:

Finally, I took the same marker and added shadows cast on the ground. I, er, wasn't great at consistency...

Which do you think would be best to start from?
