Cool stuff man! You're very strong with color, the frog, the fox, and the cheetah are my favorites :) The still lifes are very strong, that shoe looks crazy good an very efficient strokes too. You're definetely headed in the right direction man.
I've been checking out and your weakness seems to be into human figure. It's a pain in the ass that's for sure haha. I personally have checked out all of the usual to-go artist books like bridgeman, hogarth, loomis and vilpu, and took a bit from here and there. Also learned a ton from Ron Lemen's constructive figure drawing approach, but in the end I found that once you have some clues on basic muscle groups and srtuctures the best way to go is a mix between imagination sketching to see weaknesses and then some good old figure drawing with ref focusing on what you wanna tackle. I'm no master at all but it may help to try that out for a few months. No need to do tons of them, 5 a day for 3 months should give you a quite solid foundation to later on develop it further.
Also I've noticed you tend to use lasso to do your hard edges, which is a good option, but I would recommend trying to just use a hard brush to get those edges because it can give you much more control on the subtles variations of the contour.
Overall, cool stuff man, keep it up! :D
