From my view, you're a "Semi-Staged Artist". Your art is great, but now, it's time to share what I know.

Now, I'm no-one to talk, but you are, as you need me, I need you; To share what I know here.

Semi-staged is the third step to becoming the "Animal Picaso" kinda idea. :)

Saskue, my wolf is a mix, I'd call it Timber-grey, as I would just jumble up most likely wolf colors that I think'd go for him. He has Amber-green eyes.. I just mix in yellow, orange, and a bit of olive. That's my basic idea of Saye's reference.

Now, your next step is my step, that I'm on. The step "Wolves, Tiger, And Bears, Oh My!!" Which is basic animals that you'd see most of the time. Especially wolves, since they're the hardest to do. You need your own Lineart to do any basic animal, even Cats // Dogs.

Hope I helped!

And, awesome art!!

I mean you need a new suttle style. Like... More gloomy backgrounds?

Wow, you're art is really good! But, I think maybe you should try giving your paws a little bit of shape. Something like this below, and maybe around the back and stomach area is where I think you should make the body shorter. By the way, that's my realistic style paws that I draw with my pencil. Unless you want to try realistic style paws.

Ok Zukatta, lemme see.

You've got the style real nicely, no matter if you post a sketch, it ends up looking nice. So you are fine with that.

Now, I look at the shading and think it's correctly placed. Nice going.

However I don't like how simply the colors sometimes are. Try experimenting with all sorts of colors for; exmple use highlights and shadows.

the example Image

It's not that Antara (who looks verrrry fat on this pic DX) has pink furs. She has pinkish shades. Which I believe makes the picture more colorful and eventually blends with the not-mine-but- respectfully copyrighted background. Don't just try experimenting with shades, but also try with highlights.

Also a tip, in "layer properties" on photoshop theres an option called "inner glow" and "outer glow". It's what I use to give light to my pictures. Try messing with it, it's fun.
