Welcome!

Is there an option for a smoother brush? It will generally be called 'anti-aliasing' but in some programs it's just the difference between the pencil (pixely) and brush tools. That would improve the black and white lines and their intersecting with the pencil brushes you used for the waves. You might also be able to soften the transition between the waves and the land lines by copying the land lines and blurring it.

Many people start into colors by only doing a parchment background and then transparent single colors over top like watercolor for some highlights, often for different country borders as you will see is done in traditional map making. I think it's a great simple way to move into doing color maps if you wanted to, since all you need is to select a nice texture.
