I'm making a hand-drawn, viking themed map for funsies (definitely using the Banner Saga's map for reference) and I want to add some terrain features. I LOVE the way the mountains turned out before I smudged them (worry not, this is just a test draft) and I want to add some trees too, but I haven't been able to find anything that I'm happy with. I'm using speedball dip pens for the art work, and part of the problem is that none of the nibs I have are very good at lots of quick, close strokes. I'm using parchment and my finest tip was picking up a bit of fiber and I think that's what caused the blotchy-ness. I already did some looking into biome keys on hand drawn maps, but I haven't found anything I like. Anyone have any suggestions that fit with the theme? I like the density of the mountains and I think the trees work well with it, but they're a little too round and a little to cartoonish.

P.S. This is my first post, so be gentle.
