Dianne,
These are very interesting studies! I don't see anything wrong with your modeling either. Of course, I wasn't there myself, but everything looks generally in proportion and not distorted. I also think you've caught the characters of these two individuals.
I think finding a good teacher is never a bad idea, for anyone. Progress does happen slowly, and it's good to find ways to make it happen faster.
One thing that I've found helpful personally is to send time looking at your own paintings and identify what specific things, or parts, you like about them, and what things you do not like, and figure out why it is you like/don't like these things. Then look at really good reproductions or real paintings of work you admire, and figure out what specific things about these paintings you want to learn to do.
