I really like what you have here, maybe try looking at references of bears to assist in a more realistic approach. If you're going for a more cartoonish one, then more aesthetic style perhaps? Very good though.

Aww its adorable <3

I would do as Frigid suggested and use a reference photo. It will give you an idea of which direction the fur lays, there the eyes are in proportion to the nose, mouth, etc. I would also reccomend learning how to shade and highlight based on reference photos. You can make a white blob look 3d and realistic if you shade it right ^^

Another tip is to upload your reference photo into whatever art program you are using, preferably in a different tab so that you can use the color picker tool (The eyedropper thing) to use the exact colors from the image. It will save you time trying to get the colors to match and will also be most accurate.

You can also use this reference photo to sketch out your image by creating layers and lowering the opacity of the photo, then drawing on the layer above it, But obviously make sure to either credit the reference photo or change your sketch enough to prevent any accidental theft.

Hope this helps! I would post links to a few helpful videos but I don't know if that goes against the hotlinking rules, so if you want them I can PM them to you!

Edit: One other thing, Wolf Play requires you to put your pack # on your artwork so that you are easily identifiable, for theft protection. They do not accept artist signitures because they can't possibly memorize them all. Don't be suprized if your photo gets mod-edit removed for lack of proper crediting. You can fix this by simply adding on your pack # under your signiture or somewhere it is visable ^^

I think you should blend your colors more. Im talking about the oragne and white lines on the nose and fur. Blend those together, otherwise im not rlly an artist so everything else is up to you.
