Excuse me, I do not speak English very well to describe this more detailed ;-)

Edit: Hey sorry for my late answer - you are right, it should be something like a sine wave which "vericulates" and looks like a worm "coiling" (right word?) around a simple spline/curve (drawn by the user).

The "Noise" version looks a bit too random.

The wave should look like this image.

Answer 1

Answer 2

Java 2D examples of splines can be found at http://ibiblio.org/e-notes/Splines/Intro.htm

Answer 3

Perhaps PerlinNoise, but applied to a line for a hand-drawn look (see 'Drawing sketched lines' on this page...?
