Hi! :D These look great! my only critique would be, when you draw cats you tend to cover their whole head with a sphere. Instead use the sphere to make the cranium then build up the rest of the facial forms on top of it. Cats tend to have some fur patches on the sides of their heads near the jaw area. Try to patch them out. If you have trouble understanding you can revise Uncomfortable's tiger head demo. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYc0UiGTAnY
Next Steps:
You can go to drawing the cylinders now. But I'd suggest constructing a few cat/tiger heads when you have time. Good luck! :)

Thank you so much for your critique!
I was really unsure what my next step should and you helped me clear that out.
(I will surely keep drawing cats in between cylinders :))

Color and Light by James Gurney
Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
