I accept any critiques and/or advice, in fact I welcome any of either

Very nice! You're definitely improving!
Here are some Helpful Tips (I don't mean to offend):
1) Whenever you are doing something like this (where without hair/fur covering the eye(s), both would be visible), try actually drawing the second/both eyes, THEN do the hair/fur, and erase the part of the eye that is not visible because of the hair/fur.
2) Try making that little tuft of fur that looks like hair, less realistic (what I mean by this is don't start out with fine, realistic hair. Start out doing stuff such as what you were doing before (AKA, make it look kind of spike-y)).
3) I don't know if you did or not (I can't tell by looking at an image), but, and this is immensely important for novice/beginner artists, USE REFERENCE IMAGES. It could be another picture of a Furry that is the same species and gender as yours, real pictures of real animals, or even fursuits!
4) Lower your expectations! By this, I mean, if you draw something really, really good, don't think 'Wow, I'm really good! I bet I can make every piece of art like this!' because that will ruin you! I would know, I did, and I didn't upload anything for a week because all of it didn't look 'good enough'.
5) Watch tutorials/Live Streams/ speedpaintings on Youtube and such. This will give you an image of how, let's say, this artist draws hair like that, or how I can make my eyes better. But, don't go completely off of someone else's style. You have to develop your own art style! It doesn't matter if it's completely original, or looks just like this persons, it's yours.
Anyways, I really hope these tips help your future career as an anthropomorphic artist!

Also, practice whenever you can. The only reason I got as good as I did within about 1 month of being on this site is that I've been drawing animal and anime people all my life, I NEVER stop drawing, and I listen to all my tips.
I hope that one day, you become the next
