This character is so cute! Love their colour palette.)
This artwork is pretty cool and I don't have any problem with it except something that could be improved , and it'd something that would save you some time in the future aha.

The shading and lighting in this piece really fits and everything feels soft and nice, there's shadows on shadows to make the character more dimensional and the lighting is nicely added on, though the area of shading / texturing I have a problem with is their hair / where you detailed the fur. The individual lines of shading/texture is a bit distracting & out of place because the rest of the artwork has smooth shading. This is a common problem I see quite a bit of artists do; they individually draw the stands of hair for detail , but it usually ends up looking a bit off , especially when the rest of the artwork isn't detailed/shaded that way :0.

I recommend watching "digital art cell shading fur" and/or looking at cell shaded fur tutorials on deviantArt. Cell shading is a better way of communicating detail with the lines you've already placed down, instead of making 100 new individual lines to get across it's hair/strands of something.

All in all, really well done piece, all i'd recommend would be just trying to not draw the lines of hair individually but to go down the path of detailed cell-shading!
( I recommend this video, I think it fits your style!: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HxvGA3… )

Thank you for the critique! 

Is the fur issue something I still need to work on? Or does if seem like something I’ve improved in my recent art?
