she doesn't check deviantart all too often, but I can offer some advice, if that's okay;
it's okay to use photos of what you're drawing for reference and perspective. Shapes and pose dolls can help a ton too. Sketch more before you start the actual line art. Eyes are almost always one eye apart, though this is mostly applied to humans and not too many animals. If you have any pets, you can use them as models (though... remember they're still alive lol!!).
That's all the advice I can give for tonight, I'm a bit tired ;; hope this helps!
