Anyway, I've already told you how awesome I think this is. You chose the perfect color here for lamb, and I'm going to slave over photo shop until I figure out how to do the perfect shiny leather texture on the second drawing. If you could remember any steps, it's be very helpful.
In both the drawings the hands are very weak. I know you understand how they're constructed, but they have no weight or dimension. If you're having trouble feeling the space they take up, try to construct them more geometrically first. When I'm having alot of difficulty with my hands, I use box fingers. It lets you step away from the fact it's a *gasp* hand, and just use the basic drawing skills you already have. Whats important is that you don't get scared. In the second you seemed so frightened of those hands that you didn't even shade them. It kills your whole drawing.
Its also nice you see your edges getting crisper. I've always had this issue with your cg stuff with it's blurred, blended edges. Both of these are much better in that regard.
The belts feel very cartoony. The lines you've made across are just lines on top of it; your rendering does nothing to show how they exist in three dimensional space. In fact, the extremely realistic shading on the clothes make many things feel cartoony on lamb; like her collarbones, and the shading on her chest. I think you could bring the rendering on her skin and hair even more out there, because otherwise they separate slightly from the rest of the work.
So yeah, summary: Sexier than an side order of bacon. :V
