ooc; you're at a great start! do you think you could find an art program and maybe start doing some digital stuff? it helps you improve tonnes (at least it did for me)
but one thing you should check out is anatomy (canines, felines and humans! - these are links, by the way. here's a masterpost on loads of stuff, but it's mainly digital
since i'm mainly a human artist, i suggest you check out KateFox. she's got some great studies, that work as good references.
of course, you won't become some master-artist in one day, and it'll take a while to improve. i suggest you begin learning about anatomy early, or it'll bite you in the arse later. (like me atm)
since most of your drawings don't include shading, here's a helpful link. i know it's digital, but you'll still get the idea.
i see you are a traditional artist, so here's another tutorial. this one teaches you about lineart! my tip for you is to get a set of graphite pencils (these are the ones i use!) and a pen for inking. i can't help you with that, though, since i don't use one that often.
you should definitely try colouring! personally, i don't use this method, but it could be helpful. if you're not into pencils or anything, try watercolours!
this is probably totally not what you were expecting, but hope this helps.
some general tips:
practice every day, it helps,
don't be afraid to try new things,
and be patient.
if you've got the money, try buying a wacom tablet, that could help too
if you need any more tips, feel free to PM me!
