Hey, thanks for your feedback on my thread!
You've got some pretty cool studies going on in here, and since they all seem to be similar in nature (at least on this page), I'll go ahead and give my two cents that might help you overall.
It looks right now like you could improve the structure of the things you're drawing by drawing through the forms and really thinking about the basic forms that these animals are built from. They just need a bit more structure I think;
and also don't be afraid to push your value range for more contrast. It looks as though you maybe are afraid to go too dark in places, or maybe not used to using really dark values. My suggestion would be this exercise: using only three values: near black, near white, and medium gray, try drawing your image with only those three values. It will force you to squint down and try to see the values for what they really are.
Hope that helps!
