Guys think these are ready? If not, what more can I improve.

Your lining is inconsistent and not connected. I'm not experienced with wigs, so that's the only thing I can point out for you.
Good luck :)
You're improving, but you still need work! Take a look at the wig you're wearing on your HA right now. It's a similar style, so it's easy to compare it (a finished, high quality piece), to the work-in-progress that you have right now. Notice how much smoother and (as Angela said) consistent the lines are on the finished wig are? There are also lines within the wig itself to indicate chunks/pieces of hair and how the hair moves/flows along the head. You could techincally do all that with coloring, but staff tends to prefer wigs that have noticeable lines as opposed to just shading.
Keep at it! In the case of all art, practice really does make perfect. ^_^
yeah I wasn't sure about the lines within the hair part. I was told that it could be done with lines or the coloring but yeah XD
With the other wig I've been working on, I tried doing the lines, but when I went to color, it didn't work.
Are you coloring underneath your lines on another layer, or trying to fill in the shape out of the outlines with color, then shading? I would 100% recommend coloring on one or more layers beneath your lineart. It makes things so much easier in the long run!
But yeah, you can define the stands/shape more with just coloring if you want. I personally find it much easier to integrate the outer lines with the inner lines/shape if I do them all as lineart, then color the lines at the end to make them blend into the coloring more. The thing you want to avoid is having an outline on the outside, the just a blob of coloring with a lot of little strands of hair - staff tends to reject that as "sticker" effect.
