The lines in the second picture's neck are a bit off.
It makes her look either a bit emaciated or straining and about to pop a vessel.
But, love the colors, and your gradient hair 8D.

For the style of face/head that you're going for, I'd say that your eyes and mouths need to snuggle up closer to where you place your noses. They seem a bit far apart at the moment. Par example, the green haired girl's eyes are a few centimeters too high, and instead should mostly line up with the indentation on the right side of her face that represents where her eye sockets would be (our left).
I think if you do that, and make your skulls a tiny bit less tall, things would improve dramatically and then I'd have absolutely nothing to point out, which is always good because I'm sure my terrible explanation skills aren't really helping at the moment!

Neat! I have a set of almost brand new Prismacolor colored pencils I don't get to use often. ;~;!
For the first one, watch the headphones. Right now they look like blocks sticking out of the side of the head. Even if we've got a bit of a side view, if they're meant to be flat, they should conform to the sides of her head more. If they're not meant to be closer to her head,then just ignore that bit. Scoot the eyes just a teeeeny bit lower. They're just high enough for me to notice. The top of the eyes mark the halfway point of the head. The mouth should be moved higher, and it looks a bit pointy. The line you drew on the neck has 2 problems. First, it's too dark. A neck, especially on young children and women, is very round-looking. When the bones and other structures are visible underneath, they cause visible shadows, but not very harsh shadows, like, say, on a very buff guy. Also, the way it curves is the opposite of what the underlying structure is actually doing. Clavicles are drawn a bit too high, as well. for her breasts, the one on our left shouldn't be facing towards us that much, even if she has larger breasts. You drew a three quarter view her chest isn't following the rest of her body. The shadow on them is also a bit off. Generally, breasts will cast a shadow from the nipple downwards. The core shadow for breasts aligns with nipples because they're at the apex of that curve. Don't shade just the edges or they look flat. For the text. Watch that R. It looks too stretched and gets a bit distracting.
For the second, eyes and eyebrows a bit lower, mouth a bit higher. I like this one better, but feel like the depth in shadows you had in the first one isn't on this one as much. Maybe a shadow cast from her jaw to her neck, and darkening the underside of the hair a bit. Lower clavicles, and a softer line on the neck, next time for this one too. Lines on her ears would help them look less like shapes that are there and more like ears.
Overall, very nice. Hope I helped somewhat.

nicely done! I hope you keep drawing.
I suggest drawing speed sketches of real people for a while to get a better feel for anatomy. foundation first, then you can work on your own style. You won't regret it!

I agree. Getting down real people has actually really helped my stylized work.
