I've been working with this furry cow, Sorry don't know the propper name. to make a kind of painting effect. In the original its fur looks a bit messy and I thought maybe I could get nices traces here. I like the effect as it is, but I find it a bit blurry.

How do you see it? Do you have any advice to improve it?

What I have so far.




Original.
I made an HDR image of the original, and from here I started my painting effect.





I also thought about working the picture as a sketch, but I don't have any good tutorial to make sketches... If someone wants to share a tutorial, it would be great too.

Thanks so much for your help...
