What Can I do Better

Hiya; the lucky lil folf has something to say... :3
Just wondering if there was anything that anyone thought I could do better on in my drawings. It feels like they should be coming out so much better then they are for the time that I put into each one, but whenever I look back over them all I see are all of the mistakes. I try to correct them, but then I just keep finding more and more.
One of the things that constantly gets me feeling down is the thought that I'm being inadequate as an artist, so I thought maybe if I can improve just a little bit more it might help. So any tips or advice would be greatly welcome ^_^

What does that mean for you? Keep drawing, keep practicing! I can tell that you have potential!
Everybody's art can be improved. There are always. ALWAYS. Always things to do better.
The problem is that you don't really see your progress because you're constantly looking at your own work. It always looks the same to you.
It's this weird mindset that everybody has to face. You are improving. You are seeing your mistakes and learning how to do better. It just doesn't seem like it to you but it's much easier to see from another set of eyes.
Keep improving. You're doing great. *hugs*
shadows can improve the look of a character in big ways, some of the more obvious uses are to make an object stand out and be more realistic but your probably trying to make art that's more cute and cuddly rather than life like if I was to guess. However, you could use them to make the headfur and chest fur of your characters appear thick and fluffy while keeping the remaining portions short and soft depending on how you use them
You can also use shadows in more abstract ways to make the colors stand out. You could give the fox a bluish shadow in a bluish background to portray sadness. The base color of your fur would still be green but the overall feel of the picture would look blue
