MAPS!

These are some maps for my planned novel trilogy, the Chronicles of Flaughston. I spent countless weeks drawing, editing, revising, and re-revising these, and they are "living" maps, meaning they change when my ideas do I know they are large, but the size is necessary to see all of the details. Additionally, I detest stories in which the maps don't show you everything, and I'm often left clueless about where something is. Therefore, I didn't do that xD Enjoy!:

Hello

Wow, these are pretty well detailed, aren't they? It's great, because you know exactly where is your stuff and this makes it even more accurate when you write it.
BUT this is quite confusing for the readers..
It's very hard to see through those trees, I can only see some letters. So for a quick view, it's good, but when you get into actually understanding and reading the maps, it gets quite confusing. All of those trees, I understand, are a forest. I understand you want to show how dense it is, with all of them so close together and all, but with fewer trees, it'd be easier to read the names. Also, if you'd rather keep the number of trees as this, you could makes them smaller, and the names bigger as to emphasize the names, or even make them paler or write the names in another color (such as red, which is the complementary color of green, so it will 'pop' even more)

PS: I really like the last drawing x)
Hope this helps!
Keep on drawing/writing!

-Truth-

Thank you! I wrote everything in pencil so that it could be edited, and I'd probably add color in the final draft. However, as I said at the beginning, these are "living" maps for the moment, and I need to be able to change small details, a task that would prove difficult, even impossible if I used color at this stage. I hope you understand
