This is a test, but the shading still looks a bit forced to me. Trying to get it to look a bit harder around the edges, but I really don't have the computing power to fake brushstrokes.
Do they make a modern tablet convertible that doesn't require a plasma cutter to repair?

@not_used I think this looks really nice!

And I don't have a tablet convertible, sorry. I draw on my 6 year old iPad, so it isn't the best, XD but I think you could maybe fake brushstrokes by using a somewhat thin brush on a low opacity layer, and then make the lines until it looks like your desired kind of brush stroke.

Do you know any art programs with textured brushes? I've been using SAI for how lightweight it is, but I'd think there has to be at least one other lightweight program out there with decent weight/smoothing on the brushstrokes.
If this fails, I'm probably going to get the HP Elite X2 for art and university notes.

Sai is actually really good for this, in my personal opinion. You can try playing around with the minimum size of the tool you use (pen in guessing?), OR you could try using the brush tool (which I'm guessing you did for the shading), play around with its density and try some of the brush effects it has. You can also download more brush types and add them through some weird techniques, that's how I got a few different lineart textures. You may also wanna consider the i7 Cube Stylus - it's Chinese and has to be shipped overseas, so repairs would be difficult, but its super cheap and (for me anyway) pretty reliable.

The repairability on the i7 Cube Stylus is actually close to what I would need, which mainly involves being able to replace the SSD if it runs out of rewrites. Of course, the day after I drew this, I suddenly improved at shading. I managed to get the shades to look the way I needed by using a whole bunch of multiplicative layers.
I was trying to get the shades to look like the color ramps for how light/shading is warped in Team Fortress 2, where it looks slightly "painted". I still have ways to go making it look decent, though.
