Looks like a good start. I like the color palette you've chosen. I have a couple of suggestions for you. 1. Your rivers end abruptly at the "stroke: around your land mass. The easiest way to fix that is to move your river layer up so that it looks like your rivers are draining into the ocean. 2. If your going for a "hand drawn" or painted look the forest and mountain textures are kind of throwing that off. The blur makes them softer but they still look "photo-realistic" instead of hand drawn. There are many free brush sets for PS that feature hand drawn mountain and tree symbols that might be better suited for this style of map. Overall it's a great start and I look forward to watching this progress.
