Nice cast studies. Is the background behind the cast really that dark? If so I kind of feel like the interior values of the cast need to be pushed back a bit, carve out some shadows to round out the form a bit more. The first study has a nice warm/cool evaluation, although it gets a bit flat. The second is a bit more rounded, probably could push the highlights. If you have a lamp, you could try some more dramatic lighting to help push your range.
