I'm not so good at critiques but here goes.
The muscle guy: I like the cartoony-ness your getting better at that and it gives your figures life, I also like that you appear to be working on muscles and a bit on line-width even on rough sketches. Keep varying the linewidth, You mixed it up good at the top but as you get further down you lose it, for example you could thicken the lines under the jaw to give it more definition. Also with the muscles you might want to work a little more on accuracy most of the lines on the arm seem pretty random. Still a good effort.
2nd: Again I'm seeing some good stuff here. I like the details and backgrounds are always good also the character design is kinda interesting. The figures torso seems to be a bit stretched out and his pose is awkward. I see you've got the lines thickened to make it pop more from the background, although the effect isn't as good with the pencils as it would be with sharper blacks. Your perspective in the background seems a bit off too. I like the feel of the black designs in the background but at the same time they seem distracting from the main image. You should work more with layouts and dynamic poses, start thinking about how to draw attention to your subject.
Well thats all I can think of.
