So did you use any references? If not you might want to take a look at some real pandas. There are quite some differences between your panda and what is typical for a panda, for example the quite big black area around the eyes, or the pose in general. Also you might want to think wether you really need the front view or only need side-view walkcycle and other animations from the side. I hope that helps.

I wanted the panda to be more humanoid so i used one of my sisters soft toys. Good point about only needing the side view lol

For a more humanoid panda you could have a look at the warcraft3-panda:

I don't know how helpfull this is, since your panda seems to be supposed to be naked, and the warcraftpanda has all this stuff around him but at least for the face it makes a good reference I think ;)
