Try different angles. Chin too point and mouth too close to bottom of face on the first one. The second one is a bit too covered in hair/clothes to really see anything.

Instead of going straight for drawing real people, try copying anatomical drawings instead to see how you can capture the shape of things with only a few lines. Look at tutorials on drawing the face and you'll see that the proportions in your pictures are a little off. Once you've got the proportions sorted in a picture, it'll look 1000x better. It's long and it's boring, but from your pictures I think it would really help you. I don't know if this was intentional, but your first sketch looks a lot more anime-ish than you'd expect from a sketch of a real person. What I find really helps me is to forget that I'm drawing a person and ignore what I think they *should* look like, and just focus on drawing what I see.

No, you can not have my face. I'm still using it(laughs).
If you want to do real faces, you could use ads or photos from magazines as reference.
