I find drawing on paper easier, so you could try getting better at that before you try the computer. I use 3-D Paint, which is free, not super amazing but easy to use and pretty good for a free program. Try looking at real animals and stuffy their joints and how their legs move, then the shape of their head and body. Sometimes a toy of an animal can help because you can see it from all sides. 3-D Paint is also good for making nice, smooth lines, which can help if you have trouble with that. After making a good design, I use the bucket to fill in spaces. After that, I used spray paint, or something that makes a blurry line, to add shines. Use the light color. The shines have to curve with the body, or it won't look real. Pick a place where your light will come from, and have the shines facing that way. Then use a dark color to make shading on the body. The shading should be below and opposite the light source. It should go right up agains't the edge or it won't look like a shadow. And for a finishing touch, always add a little shine in the eye to make it look real.
