    If you don't have a tablet or device, you can also do this type of thing with a mouse in your application. I used the Paintbrush tool. I chose a round brush, and set it to 1.5px (seems to've taken only 1px of it). Then, I use smoothing settings and other settings to let the program "fix" my personally lousy drawing skills, or choose to have it do less. These create editable paths, so you can adjust points later.

    For that hatch background, I'd likely have used their own Hatch Pattern on a separate, locked layer.

    If it's really about the pattern:

    make larger tiles or

    distribute vertical lines evenly, then use Object > Transform > Transform each on all the lines. Check the random option and rotate them, scale them, move them , whatever you like.

    I'm guessing you're talking about the "sprinkles" not the whole illustration since you mentioned that you are using patterns.

    You could: try symbols as an option and then use the symbol shifter tools to change the distribution of the sprinkles to be more organic. You could: make a custom scatter paintbrush and apply the sprinkles along brushed paths

    Hope that gives you some directions to explore
