Oh wow, that's impressive for finger art! Yeah, I'm not sure how much pressure sensitivity would work when you only have your finger... What kind of phone do you have? Do you think you might be able to get a decent stylus as kind of an intermediate step before saving up for a tablet (assuming you want a tablet?)
I've done a looooot of art on my phone so I relate somewhat, but my phone came with a stylus that has made it a decent medium.

What program are you using now? My go to is clip studio paint, which I use both on my pc and phone. I believe the mobile version allows an hour of drawing for free per day before you have to pay for a monthly subscription. Before that I used ibis paint x for free on my phone, and it served me well for years.

As for specific drawing tools, I tend to use a lot of CSP's defaults right now. One of the default pens for linework (I don't remember the exact name off the top of my head,) the design pencil for sketching, and a few of the different paint brushes for coloring, tweaking the settings depending on how much I want the colors to blend. I will still use pen for coloring sometimes, if I want very sharp lines or points.

I'm currently using Ibispaint! Not the best, but it does me good.
Do you mind if I try to draw your character? I've drawn very little furries and yours is so unique in the best sense of the word! I can't promise it'll look the best, but I can do my best.

    Aw, I would love that! Thank you!

    I pulled up Ibis to play around and I really can't get a change in line width with my finger like I can with a stylus. If you can't get a stylus to help, you can vary line weight by changing the size of the drawing tool. Not the best or most convenient, but still workable.
