Both feature characters designed by Ume. She has also written Hidamari Sketch (this), and did a few 4koma strips for Madoka as a bonus material with similar (although darker and somewhat mean-spirited) humor.

FYI, Hidamari came first, so the more accurate statement would be, "Madoka looks like Hidamari." ^_~
But yes, Hidamari is authored and drawn by Aoki Ume. She was subsequently hired to do the char designs for the massive collaboration that is Madoka:
