These are good first posts. I like the detail you've put into the maps - and especially the style of the mountains in the overland map. I'd suggest going through the tutorials section of the site and getting some ideas for styles that you like and styles you don't. They will also give you an idea of the tools available and what can be done with them. I doubt many people here use compasses and drafting tools - rather using computers for the maps you see. There are a number of inexpensive (or free!) computer tools available. When you have questions, just ask.

As for the cliffs, you seem to have taken a top down view of them, whereas your mountains are drawn from the side. To make it consistent, you might want to take a shot at a side on view of the cliffs, descending down into the water. I agree that a few rocky outcrops would help the look of that coast.
