    I think what bugs you with the rivers (lightening look) is caused by their overall and regular shape.

    Most of the tributaries are short and straight.

    Most of the tributaries are at a fork, where the tributary is in line with the downstream river, and the upstream makes a bend. This gives the river a zig-zag look. I have emphasized this in the drawing with red.

    The blue river is what I would suggest, with a less zig-zag look. Note the tributaries are longer, and not straight, and where they join, the main channel is obvious, and the tributary connects.

    I plugged in my tablet after Istarted so the pressure sensitivity was whacked up, so no tapers for you. I would suggest that the tributary should be narrower where it meets the main river than the main river is at that point.

    Plus the usual, flat areas have slower, curvier rivers, and steep areas have straighter, faster flowing water.

    PS. forget the question about River Verde, I hadn't read all the ext at that point...
