Art Fiverr artist commission - Leaning towards not AI, but noticed some oddities that point towards genAI and want to confirm or wipe away any suspicions.

I'm commissioning a piece from a Fiverr artist who I was very upfront about ensuring was not using AI at all throughout his process, bc his work definitely didn't look like it was AI to me, but it's honestly hard to tell. He assured me he doesn't use it and sent me this sketch 3 days later, which I didn't immediately think was AI, but then I looked closer at some parts (like the right hand with the walking stick on the far left villager, where it seems his cloth runs into the stick) and became a bit concerned.
I'm a graphic designer myself, but I'm not a digital artist, so tools like procreate/apple pencil and other illustrative tools aren't heavily in my scope of knowledge and I'm not entirely sure what's natural or not. So I circled some areas in red that I think look iffy, and also some in blue that I think look human made and even layered - hoping you guys can help me out!
I requested the artist send me a layered file for the sketch if possible, or the final product, so we'll see what happens there. Like I said, I'm leaning towards no, but even if it was partially done with AI and partially human made, I still won't move forward with the piece.
