If you want critique, I noticed that the horizontal lines aren't going to the same vanishing point as those of the ceiling and the rail, and it'd make the perspective more believable if they were. Also, I usually advise against cutting characters off at the knees for more compositional success in pictures like this.
I feel like the guy's pose could be stronger; for instance, maybe have his legs spaced further apart so it looks more like he's walking, and placing his right hand on the rail (or even showing a foreshortened elbow with the hand in his pocket) would let the viewers know that his right arm actually exists. The same could be said for the girl's left hand. Finally, as far as coloring huge amounts of background, I'd start off with the lightest pencil strokes covering the greatest area, then bear down harder for small, shaded areas.
Other than that, I don't see any glaring anatomical issues, and I like the girl's facial expression!
Hope this helps!!
