Hi everybody!

This is my first map posted here. Except for the labeling, everything has been done by hand. While I'm not unhappy with the result, I also think the coloring could be improved, especially regarding the seas. On the long run, I'm aiming for something like this (modest aims, I know). Can this be done digitally? Is there a way to apply something like this to an existing map? I would be grateful if anyone could point me to an appropriate tutorial - I have Photoshop and Paint.net at my disposal. Thanks!
