Curious pony (Patreon)

Colored version of my previous sketch as reward for:  https://www.patreon.com/xbi/creators.

And this time I decided to experiment a little by doing soft shading with line art.
And it is similar to how I always did it before... yep, it costs an identical amount of time too X)
Anyway, I am curious, what type of shading is more attractive to you:
simpler and cartoonish shading or soft and more realistic shading?
If it is not hard for you, I am very interested to hear what you think))
