I have been fallowing you for a while and I really love your work. So I'll will suggest a few things.... not that I'm able to do it better but I always think that we can improve in so many ways if we try...
So here is what I think you might look into in the future. May be try to make the white fur stick out more... make it more voluminous, fluffy e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="
For the rest... I have nothing to teach you .... lol!!!! Actually, I really love his nose and his ''Please can I get a cookie'' look e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="

that explains it... but yes, keeping the focus on the head is a great way to make sure that we don't get lost with all the great details that you put in

Thank you for your critique. I agree with your comments about white hairs, I still haven't nailed a trusted technique yet, the hardest part to understand is that there is often dark areas within the white that I seem hesitant to add, even though I know they should be there.
The hair on the back is a style I have always had. I like to keep the focus on the head, so any body detail fades away to the edge of the drawing. Though on second glance, the left had side seems to have lost definition and the subtle shade difference looks rather abrupt.
