My first map try

One thing: The outlines of the lakes do not fit so well with the rivers.
You could try to erase them.
Or you can paint the outlines of the lakes in the dark blue of the rivers and fill the lakes with a bit lighter blue.

*sorry, I somehow have to earn that river police badge*

Lol policing is what I want and need. One of the problems I run into when I do rivers via eraser with outline is that the outline on the rivers is too rough. Do you have any tricks?

I don't understand that. Did you erase the rivers from the land?
I guessed you painted them in a separate layer over the land.
I think your rivers look very good.

Sorry. What I meant is that The lakes are just "holes" in the land layers and I "erase" the rivers out of them. After that when I do the 1-2 px outline of the contour the lakes look good but the rivers outline is too "sharp".
