To add to the critiques, the shading of the first doll's dress is off. Unless that's a bell-bottomed body suit, you wouldn't see the meeting of her legs. To fix this, you'd see a highlight on her leg with a fold that continues down the hem. I wish I had a drawing to show you, but all my dolls are on an external hard drive, so instead I'll show a picture.

Notice the highlight of the top of both her legs, the very faint shadow between her legs, and the dark shadow underneath her lifted bent leg. Where the shadow and highlight meet on that leg, a fold in the dress is created that travels down to the hem of the dress.

You're really very good for a beginner! Keep it up! I look forward to see your progress.
