Man Kenny, you are a machine. You are so on your way to getting good. You seem to be doing all the right things in this thread - just cranking out lots of models, male, female, creatures, armor, hard surface etc. It will be really cool to see where you are at in a year. That being said, one thing that is important when you are doing what you are doing, is “focused” practice. As in, with your sculpts. have a plan, a strategy, a goal, and idea of what specifically you are trying to accomplish, based on th ethings you are studying, observing, and trying to understand. Wether it’s an experiment to see how something works or what happens, or an attempt to improve on something specifically. (Like do better on eyelids or ears than last time or something.) You seem to be doing that already, but I just thought I would reiterate just in case.
Two things I think you should really focus on are anatomy and structure.
For Anatomy - Making sure you know and understand each specific part, as well as how it is integrated with the parts around it. Once you understand something, then you can design it and stylize it to suit your needs and sell your idea.
Structure - This is huge. It is essentially the essence of sculpture. I would highly recommend doing a structural head study. The bones, muscles, and anatomy, organized and simplified into planes. This is essential in making your sculpts look solid and grounded. I would highly recommend checking out Philippe Faraut’s books and life casts if you haven’t already. This will make a big difference in your work -

When I talk about structure, I’m referring to the planes of the head casts.

Perhaps you already know this stuff, or it’s been said before - if not, hope it helps. I gotta go now, I got some sculptin to do! 
oh yeah - maybe do a horse anatomy study - sculpt in all the muscles and anatomy of the horse, and then smooth it out once everything is in place.
