Tried shading in these characters with a textured brush (left). How does it compare to the version with the flat shading (right)?

Had a book illustration gig that just got cut short. Made this illustration for the art test, and it was good enough to get me brought on board of the project. Even though I wish I could have done more, I am grateful I was considered for the opportunity.
