They are both very good, I personally like the detail on the first one better. To improve, you could try to add more shading on the faces, to make the portraits more realistic, and to personalize the faces.
Also, when you're shading, try smudging with your finger, it makes the shadows look softer and more realistic.
Awesome job!
