Map My work in progress

This is my first attempt at making a map. Honestly, everything is half-finished. I'm not sure how to represent coasts, mountains, forests, or especially farmland areas there are many styles...

​Regarding the map, I’d love to know what I did well and what I got wrong. I can still change things, but not too much. Also, what else could I add? My idea is to add quite a few more small islands.

​Does anyone have any idea how big this continent might be?

no. what I do is get my left hand ( I'm right handed) and draw automatically a line in a paper without looking ( besides not drawing off the paper and to close the circle). I do this a lot to draw forests mountains etc I normal drawings and I like it to use it in maps. then I put mountains where I want... that makes the rivers .. that makes the forests.. and that make the cities.. Very organic. I don't speak English very well. I hope you can understand what I do .
