    Yeah, draw it right on top of your finished map. Focus on the outlines of structures and the wall, put some subtle ground detail, you don't need too much. Merge the layers when you're complete, and as long as you're careful with the hand-drawn linework, it should really get that hand-drawn feel to your digital map - it's the primary style I use in maps I do for RPG publishers.

    If you click on any of my gold compass badges below my avatar, most of those challenge maps use my hand-drawn/digital hybrid style, I describe in my previous post - if you want to see the result of this map technique.

    Edit: also I'd create a masked shape filled with light gray with about 70% transparency applied as a shadow, instead of using a drop shadow, so you can extend the shadow way out away from the wall to simulate a wall of great height (700').
