I'm so proud of you! We managed to make yet another person quit smudge :D
A BIG problem in your drawing, leaving all technical issues behind, is the light source. It comes directly from the front and that's not good at all for describing volume. I don't know if that's the effect you wanted to achieve though, but if you did wanted that then I think it's not the best solution. A main light source from the side and a back light with some other color usually works well.

I think an even bigger problem is that this is probubly an 100% zoon rendering of the image. You should use a waaaaaay bigger canvas. at least 1000x1000 pixels.

I was gonna point out is that it is a bit small. And by a bit, I mean a lot.

Anyway, I don't really like the hooves. I don't like hooves on creatures in general though.

The lighting is an issue, since it forces the shading and it looks a bit shiny this way.

And I think his proportions are off. His left arm mainly.

Good effort though.

Thats allready a lot better, but i still think you are restricting yourself too much with lines that are too thick and a canvas that is too small. Take some space.
