    I'm not sure what you mean by making portions over hang. Can you provide a link to an example?

    Demo with your artwork, very fast mockup... see how now some of the trees on the highest level clip over the rocks to hide some of them from view, instead of all of the rocks splaying out at an even inclination? This implies that that spot is steeper, and the cliff might be crumbling. This kind of overlap can give an extra layer of dimension, though obviously what I did here is not a high quality example and if you drew it you'd probably break up the branches a bit, exposing pieces of the rock underneath. Much easier to do that digitally, making a tree layer and a cliff layer, and drawing in more of the cliff than will actually be seen in the end, so you can have bits of it exposed through the branches. I'm just showing how if you moved it a bit you get a greater illusion of depth. I think the cliff shading itself is very nice.

    Thank you very much. Though it appears that I'm still detailing in such a way as the elevation is appearing to be the opposite of what is intended.

    Yes, to me that doesn't look like a steep cliff (though I can tell that's what you're aiming for), but rather, a hill. It's not the detailing, but that the design you chose is visible from all the angles, and never overhung by something. If those trees are supposed to actually be "moss at the bottom of a ravine" then you did miss the directional cue but the fallen rocks tell me that no, that is higher. Anyway, it would be cleared up at the table by a player asking "is this up or down" and you'd say "it's up, you can reach it if you jump but it'll take you a turn to climb up to high ground" and then it's canon and their imaginations will fill in the gaps.

    My first attempt at messing around on my tablet drawing. It's on a kindle fire. I think I like these cliffs better than I do others.

    Here it is all colored in and everything. It's a lot more detail than I normally put into my maps.
