I love the rhythm in your gestures! I wish mine were anywhere as dynamic as yours. xD
And the expressions study is also great, you captured the girl's facial structure very well. It's a challenging angle, but you managed to express it through the cheekbones in a way that's just *chef kiss*. The guy expression is also great.
I don't have critiques, you're doing great, just assorted tips. May I give a couple of them for drawing Asian faces? They're silly tricks and traits I like to keep an eye out for picked through studies, nothing you must do but that I find useful in portraying this kind of gentler facial structure.
- I don't know why — maybe it's great sinkcare + skin tone + facial structure — but this kind of face tends to pick some very pleasant reflections in certain areas going to forehead to chin. They're not only very nice to look at but helpful in depicting the face's curvature.
- I find the area at the top of the nose, between eyes and eyebrows very characteristic in this kind of facial structure. Sometimes giving extra love to the shadows here, thinking about how they connect on the planes on the top outer side of the brow does a lot of heavy lifting in terms of likeness or just believability.
- Some people have epicanthic folds making the outer area of eyelids curve down towards the eyes rather than up to the eyebrows. That'll change how the light falls in this area, creating a very characteristic look. It connects to the rim of the eye sockets then changes direction, blending with the sides of the face rather than being a hollowed break from it.
This is why such eyelids are fuller, by the way. Extra fat and the lack of a ligament that would pull they back into the eye sockets, so they mostly gently nest over the shallower crease:
