It just looks SO good with those two pictures put together. Great Job!
New gates, mud and some minor tweaking.

Fantastic. I love the feeling of light and space this gives.

Even if I am correct, I would still advise you to follow your heart. This whole Cartographers Guild thing, it seems to me, is more about passion and skill and learning new techniques than it is about definitions and rules.

Thanks guys. Now I need to start working on the internal spaces of the western courtyard. Ive blocked these out here with 5-feet grids so I can work out scale and start drawing over the top.
*Warning...obnoxious OCD-type nit picking...feel free to completely ignore.
Now that you put the grids up, it looks like your well is a little on the large side. Might make sense to shrink it a bit.
I appreciate good nit-picking. The well is rather large (the hole is 150 pixels in diameter which is 7.5 feet/2.2m). This probably makes it the biggest well ever created. However I don't think there is anything fundamentally wrong with this, and as a rule I like encounter maps to contain fewer larger-than-life objects rather than more realistic-sized clutter, as it provides more clarity. I could try a version with the well reduced to a more standard 1m diameter (ie 50% of the size) if you think it is very important.
EDIT: at this size it is probably more a cistern than a well; but it seems reasonable to have a large cistern that can store very large amounts of water in case of siege. Obviously in real life this would be covered over for safety but as a coincidence someone has obviously left the cover off today. I must remember to add a flooded tunnel to the cistern when I do the dungeon map.

I have now completed the stables building. I am pretty happy with this.
EDIT: added a .png without shadows in case anyone wants to use it. Please note the hay and wooden columns are not by me.
