    Well, I followed the advice and looked at the tutorials. While I was looking for more of a pen-drawing map, I liked RobA's tutorial on GIMP and regional maps, so I downloaded GIMP and started walking through the tutorial.

    I made my canvas 1600x1000(ish) and stretched my PNG to fit it. I then proceeded to attempt to outline my map as closely as possible.

    I made a first mistake by not drawing my outline in a new layer, so when I realized it, I duplicated the layer but now I have a lot of fiddly fill-in monkey work to do.

    I hope the lack of rivers won't be an issue later, but I think my rivers should probably be narrower for the most part.

    I cleaned up my coastline where I thought I could make it look more realistic, and added a couple more islands for realism.
