I've been in kind of an art block/down swing combo and I just feel like my stuff's not good enough, so like, if you guys could tell me what you think I need to improve on it'd be a big help, thanks

If it means anything, I seriously love your artwork!
Trying to figure out how to improve one's art is always tough. There actually aren't any huge things that jump out at me, but there are a few tiny things that may be worth taking a look at.
1. Drawing the seams of clothing can really improve the way they look overall (Where the sleeves of attach to shirts, where the two halves of pants are sewn together, etc.)
2. I noticed that when you draw long, open snouts at 3/4 view the lower jaw tends to line up directly with the top jaw as if it's opening vertically. Since jaws open at an angle, the bottom jaw actually appears to "pull away" from the top jaw towards the neck. Making the bottom jaws shorter may help with this.
3. This one may sound a bit silly, but I think changing up the way you draw crotches may help a bit. Unless the character is wearing very tight pants/undergarments, the crotch actually appears to be flat in most types of pants. Drawing a line directly beneath the crotch that connects the two sides of the pant legs instead of drawing the outline of the crotch makes it look more natural.
Oh gosh I hope none of that sounded rude. Let me know if any of those didn't make sense, I'm really bad at explaining things. If you'd like, I can also try redlining a piece or two of yours to better illustrate what I'm saying!
Oh alrighty then! Well I redlined a couple of pieces just to show what I was babbling on about.

Sorry about the messyness, I did these rather quickly. Hopefully they make sense.
Though yeah, if you'd ever like critique on anything, I'd certainly love to help!
Keep up the great work!
