Nice! Love the faces!
I have a quick tip for the last colored one: on her face, it doesn't like she is being lit by the magic on the staff because the value on the light there is darker than the rest of the skin!
Think with me here: if you're shining a light on it, any light, it only makes sense for the lit are to get lighter values, right?
Now, if you're losing too much color when you go lighter, try making the skin under it darker - dont need to muddy it up, just drop the value a little bit. The same would work on the shoulder pads/arms. Don't be scared of making white surfaces darker - the tricky here is to be consistent with everything else that is shadowed too; not necessarily making white light value :)
Hope this helps!
Great work, keep it up!
