Hi, You have the shape and color done well, the fur however has a straw like feel to it. Here is a tutorial ment for pencil but can be translated to digital painting with some imagination, photorealistic fur is very hard to do, but this will help.

Hi, well I don't know how much experience you have in digital painting.

But I did once paint a fur beast. The main brush I used was a speckled "hair brush" - one might use for human hair. With a low spacing.

It's quite laborious, but looked pretty good!
