Scott,
I would have elected to use a medium other than graphite/charcoal for this subject. The light in this source does not lend much to this subject. It would be better in a color medium which utilizes flat washes of color. The fur is undefined in the source, the shadows in the child are not flattering. Pencil and charcoal are best suited to subjects which have more defined shadows and light sources. The drawing is stiff and a bit unnatural. This is possibly somewhat due to the lighting. If you are going to do photo realism, you are obligated to perfection - a hard thing to live up to.
