I think you've got the right idea, but you need more work on expressions
and anatomy. The "How to draw manga" series by antarctic press isn't
half bad, or any of a dozen figure drawing books are good places to
start. I often hear the same thing when i suggest that to someone who
wants to draw furry art, namely "but that book doesn't say how to draw
furries!"
Don't sweat it. Get a lot of practice just scribbling figures.
don't worry about details or "finishing" a pic. After a while, you'll
get a feel for how the anatomy flows, and then you can start to play
with it, trying out digitigrade legs, the right place to add a tail, how
to mix human features with those of another animal, and get something
that looks "right." Keep at it, and good luck.

If you are good friends with any artists, see if you can get them to
critique your work, or maybe redline it. I won't kid you, a real
critique is pretty harsh, and not for fragile egos. If you honestly
want to improve, though, there's nothing better than having it taken
apart bit by bit in front of your eyes, and being told what you did
right, what you did wrong, and how to fix it.
