That's pretty cool. I don't know about shading, but this would look fantastic with some colour in there. I hope you pick it up after the camping trip.
I may not get a chance to do the shading that I was thinking of. Two-week camping trip starts tomorrow so there's lots of packing to do and it's probably best if I help out rather than hiding away with a map all day
What I did was thicken up some of the lines, I'm really happy with the result, and this may be the final version of this map. Oh, dragons grew scales too! Also I finally scanned it rather than using phone photos, so the quality will be a bit better. Also I could go colour it digitally some day…

Definitely colour it - like a watercolour, with very pale washes that bleed into one another just a bit - nice soft pale colours
I'm so glad you got the line work finished and got a proper scan of it. I don't think it needs any hatch shading really

Very nice!
I like how you used the isometric view.
As Sue said, colour it
Fantastic, great details, absolutely color it when you can.

This looks good, maybe even better if you could just add some color to the dragons before the deadline...
Just speaking personally, I love a good ol' black-and-white line art map.
I wouldn't go too heavy on the texture, your lines already do quite a bit in that department.
