Your entries look correct except that for the Capital and Income Summary account entry you need to reverse it. Also you will need to calculacte the amount in the Income Summary account then you will Debit this account for the balance and Credit the Retained Earnings or Capital account(if no Retained Earnings) for the amount

For the Withdrawals and Capital entry you first need to reverse it, then post the correct entry, which will be a Debit to the Capital account and a Credit to the Withdrawals account. Withdrawals has a normal Debit balance and Capital has a normal Credit Balance so you need to close out your withdrawals to the capital account when closing the books.

Closing entries involve closing out Income Statement accounts to the Balance Sheet accounts. Also you do not close out a Balance Sheet account.
