"Tips"
It really boils down to what style you want to have.
Go in with some shadow and highlights for everything. No one likes a monochrome picture and contrast is good.
For the Naruto comic, give more breadth to the hair, it seems like an attachment to the headband he is wearing.
Metallic could be added to any parts metal.
The black really sucks the attention from the rest of the coloring, add some mid-tones and highlights.

Hokage:
Hair
Specs of grey within head band
Black
and the white coat "could" be given some extra touches.

Overall, it looks alright for the anime it is representing, but simple if you wanted to achieve something greater.
