Beautifully done ladies!
They are even more lovely in these horizontal positions - at least I can remember so from my youth ...  ;)
Time flies ... :(

Not bad, not bad at all

My only suggestions

I like the statue, very well done. The Girl is good, but I would darken her face like the bottom of the front of her legs as it would be in shade from the head of the statue.

The bust could do with a bit of additional shading under her bust ( ;D pun intended ) and her hair could do with a bit more definition. However, as with photos, this may not actually be the case :o

I tried to translate in colours for the bust, if I understand Eric ...

But also added some lightening on the hat (round above red but nit up to the top !,
and some light also on the left flat surface;
and light & dark on the red knot to give more structure...
and a white line at the edge of the reverse of the coat on her right, to separate sharply freom the hair
For the hair, do'nt hesitate to use black and white & light grey

But for the other one, the engraving ad face is so badly defined that it is hard for me to adjust.  I woudl have flattened the whole face to a flat surface and painted like a canvas ...

On the actual figure the high lights are a lot lighter than on the photo. The photo has washe'd out the colours. The knot in bow tie in particular
