Yeah, I'd love to. I'm probably going to have to go looking for some tutorials or resources!

Okay, I added mangroves along the shore in places. I think I might be done with the forests at this point.

Next I will probably start on some other textures for vegetation and rocky terrain. It's slow going, but I'm trying to keep posting frequently.

The southern shore needed some a'a.

I've added grassland on part of the interior. I think I'll figure out some other vegetation symbol to break it up a little after I finish.

Thanks, I'm glad you like it!
I guess there wasn't a conscious reason for choosing the tone of the trees and grasses - and actually, I don't think I did anything but apply a little less pressure. Now that I'm thinking about it, I like having a softer look for plants and a harder look for rocks, mountains, etc.
I do plan to color in the island, and I'm sure it will look different after I do!
Fortunately, to try out this newfangled Photo Shop thing, I put all the different elements on different layers, so I can do some tweaking. What do you think?

Time for a small update. I realized that I needed a way to indicate low growth vegetation, so I drew some little shadowed humps. I'm thinking of coloring the forests, grassland, and vegetation different colors of green. What do you think?
