Hopefully helpful
The basic scaffolding:
1. draw a sphere,
2. add eye line and face centre vertical,
3. extend from the back of the sphere through the eye/face cross out to the nose, draw the top nose line parallel to the eye-line
4. draw a box to plan the muzzle, and then
5. add smooth shapes.
Most folks use these scaffolding guides to plan pictures until they find they can skip steps: I've recently ditched the face cross and muzzle box in favour of a second circle and placing the nose directly, then working from those guides.

You're very welcome, and I can see the improvements - well done!
Yes, this works for every angle, though the more the face is looking directly out at the viewer, the more you'll need to consider adding perspective (essentially, making the box wider and taller at the nose end).
Something that I've also found very helpful is having photos of the real life versions species I'm trying to draw nearby, so I can bring elements from them in - seeing how badger stripes flow, or the shape and position of the eyes and ears: even if I stylise things, it's important to base things on the original so they feel more wolfish or lionish.
