Help needed in making hand-drawn coastline

[jezelf]

That's a good point, Torstan. It's also sometimes useful to use, say, an island and rescale it for use as a continent. Not many people are likely to recognize the shape of a random Philippine island, especially if it's being used to represent something much larger.

You could go further with this and take various bits from different islands you like and add them together to break up the shape. As long as you don't choose too big a piece that could be easily to identify.
