I'm just gonna start by saying that I love this, absolutely fantastic!

The proportions are fantastic - everything in their facial structure is spot on, and the expressions you create are also easy to read and very realistic. The extra detail of the dip in his chin, and her lips being darker than his creates a more feminine feel to her too.

The hair is well done, but hers seems to be blowing in a different direction to his? The skattering of the leaves is also a bit random. If you're going to have your characters a bit windswept, or are even thinking of putting a breeze in, make sure you're sure of what difection it's blowing in, or it could take away from the impact of the image you've created.

You may have also been a bit too harsh with the pencil on some strands of hair, and instead of just looking like darker strands, on closer inspection they can seem a bit off and maybe even rushed. Perhaps wait until you've done the general strand shading, and then come back to slowly darken some strands? You probably wanted the effect to be quite dramatic with the stressed pencil, but if you're not careful it can come out as a bit clumsy. This is just me nit picking to find anything you could possibly look at by the way, it's really not that obvious. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>

The only other thing I could find that you might work on is the hands. They're sooo tough to do, but if you just looked at your own hands for refference and noticed that there is a lot more shape to them, you could really make more detailed body language - the hands show so much. Like hers, do you want them to show reluctance to hold on to him, or do you want her to seem like she wont let go? Once you have the details of the shape of the hands down (mainly the joints), you could show sooo much more expression.

Other than those little nit pickings, fantastic work! I especially love the old school hatching shading, it really works with your style and just... well, there's no other way to say it, it just works! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>
