Genre Spotlight 67: Turnaround (Puzzles 392 and 393)

Oh no, two loop genres in two weeks?  Who have I become?

Today's genre is Turnaround, a puzzle type by Indonesian constructor chaotic_iak.  It is similar to a few other genres, mainly Inaba's Pearl Loop, which count loop turns near given clues.  

Rules: Draw a non-intersecting loop through the centers of some cells. A number indicates how many times the loop makes a turn within the three-cell portion of the loop with the clued cell in the middle.

             

Two puzzles today, with the first easier than the second.  These weren't intended to be spotlight puzzles, but I realized I'd be away from home all weekend.  So they might be less "polished" than usual, idk. What does that word even mean anyway.
