it's a giraffe O.o Looks like an elephant to me :P Your outline is actually quite clean, you just need to work on shading and color picking. I'll make an edit if I find time :) Nice start btw!

Consequently from the fact that slym lacks the required time to generate a proper modification of the image, I have made one in his absence. I believe the outline is superb and the only transformation I have applied is to fray the end of the ear by a smidgen. For the shading, what you want to do is to spot out basic forms such as spheres and cylinders and shade accordingly.
