A couple of comments though:

1. Maybe use a brush with less opacity and flow for the black & white mountain shadings.

2. Use a single round brush at different sizes for city symbols. Simple and good looking.

3. Work a little bit on your coastline. It looks a little "flat"...

And finally, just out of personal taste, I would change the texture of the map. But that's just me, I don't like that bumpy textures.
I disagree on the texture issue--I think the rough texture makes it appear as if it's drawn on something like animal hide or something else rough. The other points are good.

I think the font on the lables is a little too clean. It looks printed in a way that jars with the very rough, hand-drawn look of the rest of the map. A scratchy, distressed looking font would be a better looking partner.
