try making the lines smoother, and more precise. For example, the middle line on the N is very crooked.

I think the crooked lines were made on purpose, correct?  If so, make the completely straight lines somewhat crooked.

oh ok then, you should do what Darien said, make the straight lines a little crooked as well. It looks like it was an accident with some lines crooked, some lines straight.

This looks nice for what it needs to be.  However, there are a few things that could be improved.  Firstly, as others have mentioned, the lines that are straight now could be made a bit crooked to match the style of the rest.  And unless your handwriting is exactly precise, you might consider making a bit of space or overlap in the corner of the "N" and the intersection of the "4" where the separately drawn lines intersect.  A minor nitpick: the bottom of the "4" appears to draw itself; it appears while the pencil is moving away to draw the "S".  Also, since pencil lines are rarely actually black, you may want to consider making the lines a medium gray.  If you really feel like getting fancy, you can try to make the pencil change angles as it draws.
