I would point out that the labels on the map are slanted ... this may be a problem. Most maps tend to have the labels pretty flat, unless dealing with large features, when they can arc a bit. In the tutorials or resources (I think) Ravells posted a very good guide to labelling maps.

Anyhow, if you are planning on publishing the map, the legibility of the labels is something to think about. When I hand-letter maps I tend to use a ruler to get straight lines to write on, then erase them afterwards. If your whole map is going to be in pencil, you might consider labelling on a separate sheet of tracing paper, then combining the two layers digitally.
