Small 16th century inspired map

Good start!

I'll second Sapiento in saying that this is off to a good start. The coastline shape is interesting, the rivers have a nice taper to them, and the little squiggly "woodcutish" border to the land is nice. By the way, how are you doing that squiggly thing? With a pattern?

I made a pattern myself by making straight horizontal lines and using the Filter-Distort-Wave in photoshop. I then added a layer of the pattern and a mask which hides everything but the coastline.

I've just drawn the mountain shapes. I'm going to use these as brushes to form the mountain chains. The map I'm basing this on has mountains like this with the colour simply painted over the mountain range.
