This is a map that I recently made. I had some issues with the text, which I think looks a bit weird. I might change it :)

First timer looking for feedback
About to start my first homebrew world, only ran modules so far. Was mainly looking for a base world with biome variety, and lots of empty room to fill in as the campaign progresses. Pretty happy with the shape and feel of it. Rivers feel a bit wonky. Wanted to get some feedback and tips before I delve into detailing it further ....
The Anthan continent will be the first to see adventure, this is pretty much your default fantasy setting, some mountains, woods, lakes, etc ...
Kesel would host a much more advanced society with more focus on science/magic but militaristic and strict.
Rydark is the unknown wilds, mixture of desert, volcanic, swamps, no exploration has been done on this continent
Cheel'ax might need a better name :p its basically antarctica, no real plans for it yet.
Update:
New version:
Some reworked coastlines, fixed some rivers, tried making height differences more obvious

The Land of Røj
howdy there! first post here. this is the map of my fantasy world Røj [ɾɒʒ]. it took months to finish, much longer than i would have liked, due to software limits (everything is hand drawn digitally) and general burn out, but im happy how it turned out. this world building project is something that i had started years ago, but was able to turn it into my thesis project for my masters degree (basically how conlangs can aid in worldbuilding for artistic purposes). as of now, it has all of the cities named and the 5 seas using the constructed language Xøjitde [xɒʒ.it.dɛ] that i created for the project. things like mountains, lakes, and rivers i will add in after my thesis concludes and i can do it comfortably without rushing.

Tips for physical map drawers
You like feeling paper under your hand and drawing a map with out a complicated web page?
Here are some tips.
Foundation, use something to create a look similar to earth, beans, rice or cereal beans, I personally use rice.
Sketch, draw your map marking around the material you used in pen (In my case rice) and then repas it with a marker.
Detail, I personally use use dots for towns, dots in the middle of circles for cities, dots inside squares for important cities and portuary cities and a star inside a circle for a cappital.
Soon, I will be doing another post with more tips, those ones are the basic ones
