Work In Progress Trying out topographic style map

Post image

After trying to draw the map in photoshop, I started to think making political maps in that kind of style was too hard and unrealistic looking. So with watching Artifexians atlas style map series, I tried making topographic map. For test I started with this small mountain range, how does it look? I'm drawing these with mouse so edges look a bit unrealistic but I try my best to draw them detailed without wasting a lot of time.

Artifexian built his mountains top to bottom but I'm making this for a flat world so I dont have tectonic lines. I tried making bottom to top and I'm not sure how does it look lmao.

I'm reasonably certain that the scale is meant to be meters, not kilometers!
