    Default my first photoshop map (unfinished)

    This is a work in progress, so be easy on me.
    I have to add a few things:
    + Names/text
    + A lot of cities, towns, etc.
    + Country borders (maybe)
    + mana nodes
    + whatever else...

    I would love some tips. Mostly I'm concerned if the rivers are realistic or not. This is a fantasy map, but still - I want the rivers to be realistic.

    I used Ascension's tutorial, like so many before me seem to have done. It really is a nice tutorial. I tweaked some stuff for my map - really just playing around with some settings. I guess something I am interested in here that I figured out was how to make a little sprawling city icon. I am interested in fantasy mapping, so I might make those icons a bit more... well... iconic.

    Any suggestions on anything would be great.

    For my next project, I'm wanting to do a regional map in the style of users Gidde and Immolate (maps I've seen on here... I'm sure there are other awesome ones). I really would like to take the handmade map thing and translate it somehow to computer (but I don't have a scanner!). Any advice on how to do that kind of map with a computer would be appreciated. Or just any general advice or further tutorials I should read.

    A big thanks again to Ascension.
