This map looks really good! I like the colors and soft feel to it.

I'm also pretty new to making maps. I like how you did the cliffs. I was just trying to think of how to do this yesterday - how to show a raised area. This looks better and makes more than that what I did. I like how you drew the forests too. Mine are filled in entirely with trees, which takes forever, ha, but your method looks faster and just as effective. Thanks for the ideas!
