Okay, so I happened to catch this on the front page, and I've been sitting here debating whether or not to post this comment because I don't want you to go OMG SUNA UR SO MEAN or anything like that, but I honestly just can't sit here and let you keep making the same mistakes over and over and inhibit your improvement in the artistic world.
You need to study your anatomy. Your works tend to be stylized in a way that everything you draw tends to have the structure of a horse. It looks awkward, and as a result, your figures have this unusually long neck with long faces. This could easily be avoided if you did some studies of animals and their bone structures. Pay attention to how they're put together and it will help you immensely.
Also, if you're not already doing this, lay out your sketches, and then ink. This is merely speculation on my part, but I'm going to assume that you don't do any sort of frame sketching beforehand. Don't just skip the middle man and put down lines and call it good enough. It's a lot easier if you plan your drawing out, make changes, and then finalize the sketch. ESPECIALLY WITH DIGITAL, LAYERS ARE YOUR FRIEND. You are fairly new when it comes to this medium, do not treat it the same as your traditional work!
I'm not sure how well you take crits, but once again, I'm just trying to help you.

Thank you for your advise. I do use the layers. I know I am new to it, but everyone has their own style. I keep my canines with longer faces just cause I think it personally looks better, depending on the breed of course. I go for a toony expression most of the time as well.
An artist only gets better with every drawing. I am sure I will in the time to come

Alright. I kinda figured that was the response I'd get, and that's fine. They're your drawings.
But protip: If you keep on doing what you're doing, you can't expect to get much better. Practice may make perfect, but the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
