This medium is what, water color and pencil sketch?
You know, it's a little rough on some points, lord knows when I was working on drawing I was extremely aware of each and every one of my *imperfections, but it gives it this amazing rustic feel that has been utterly lost in a lot of our modern digital tablet drawing because usually you're using tools and you only keep the line that is "right" and loose the lines that breathe life and soul.
Those subtle *imperfections give so much heart and feeling. The indentations of pencil on paper showing stress on trying to get this line or that line just right, and the effect that those indentations have by where the water color flows and pools. The heavier use of the water color to imply shading along the creases in clothing. I love the button eyes of the stuffed animal, and the hands, the hands I think are exceptionally noteworthy. Hands are FAMOUSLY difficult to get just right, the bend and orientation, the structure, I have seen so many people just lose their entire mind trying to get them just right and it's just... fleeting.
One trick that a friend showed me that may or may not be useful to you, please feel to discard unsolicited advise, is using something like a latex or cloth glove with a grid pattern drawn along the palm, backhand, fingers, and wrist. You can also do this with fine lining tape on bare skin if it feels alien to not be bare handed. Link provided for image I found on google representing the concept.

This is so beautiful because with more and more people playing with ai art bots that learn, or steal, from wide variety of artists, the stress and emotion behind a human hand putting pencil to paper or brush to canvas can never be imitated by something that merely copies lines. A wonderful piece. I hope you continue to work and invest in your craft because this is really very impressive.
*Do not misunderstand imperfection as a derogatory word, "perfection is the enemy of good", of progress, of... art. To be a craftsperson is not to travel to a destination, it is the journey of a lifetime, and the destination is the path you have traveled, gaining strength with every step, but as with any journey, you must remember to rest, to eat, to drink, do not let your efforts exhaust you, or the length of the road distress you, because the longer the road ahead, the more wonders remain to be seen.

Wowww thank you for such huge feedback!
About the art - it's liner+watercolor and it's about a half a year or year old art. I understand your point about skrtchy lines of pencil so now I paint more with it and less with line:
this I didn't color yet: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/54656044/
And colored:

- tw! may be triggered https://www.furaffinity.net/view/55091883/
Some months ago I decided to go a bit away from "clean" line to lifeful sketches and now adding line only on important and small details (face or hands for example)
For now I research my art-style to create comics in future with my characters (and on this art in post are some of them)
I read your comment twice and I'm crying. It's so beautiful and give so much happiness for me. I work on new arts with Ruth and Marseille and I love that you so liked this art piece 😭 I'm really crying thank you thank you so much for your words!
And the idea with hand is beautiful, I'll try it, thank you!
