Such a big project, I like it a lot and the shape of the land is very appealing! One thing about your coastlines, I personnally think it would be better if you inverse the two lines : a large one for the proper coastline and a thinner one for the off coast line. Just my 2 cents.
Sigh. Yeah I already have an idea in mind on how to do coastlines. If only it was not SO BIG of a project D: Oh well, I was already planning to make another version sooner or later. Will be working more on my style, maybe adding a second colour like a pale grey or a dark Brown, will be adding some necessary stuffs like the scale, the name of the map, the star gizmo thing with the 4 directions.
However I doubt I will be working on another version soon because I have to write more.
We all wish to create, but do we really create?
What we draw and what we write is part of us.
No we do not create, we simply discover who we are.

, yes, I was indeed thinking of future maps! I know how you feel, I tend to throw myself in big maps or series... And I generally need some time before I got an itch to redo them or do another large map set
.
Okay! I am about to redraw my whole continent and will be planning to expand it further and, hopefully, to have a whole continent.
Now, what I will be working really hard on my coming version:
1-Having a scale, names, and a description (like what the name of the cartographer and the date it was made and for who)
2-COASTLINES!! Yessss! After many tears that washed my face during my moments of despair and.New .. What? Not interested in soap operas? Ah.. Okay... Well, I will be improving ONCE again my style! Thank you all for all the comments and tips!
3-Boarders and roads. I don't know yet how I will do it, but I plan on showing national and regional borders, and also cultural ones.
4-New geographical features: Ravines, plateaus, and more textures hopefully (so far for swamps I have a new idea)

What I have changed so far: the swamps, the coastline.

Your project is huge... and so it makes it very interesting !
I like a lot your drawing... reminds me of the old Midle Earth map ! It shows that it doesn't need to be "charged" to be beautiful and efficient !
I'm looking forward to see the whole map !!!
(i might have skiped a post, but this continent is attached to a story ?)
Thanks! Yes it is part of a book I am writting, but it was discussed in another thread called Kastosian history. (don't remember where it is though...). Right now, as you must have also noticed, I am working also on having a globe map (why is GIS so hard to learn?!!!).
About being charged... I will add alot of details still, but not for the look. I like to infuse a map with information, like a juicy fruit. The problem is I end up having to have different copies of the map in order to have all the info (a political map with the name of the cities, a physical map with the name of the regions and landscapes, and probably another one for commerce and culture...)

Well, here is an update. The forests are done, the rivers are all in place, all that is left is to layout the borders, the roads and the rest of the towns and settlements.
