It's really cool that you're challenging yourself! I think you did really good on the expressions and faces. If you want two characters to look like they exist in the same space you need to make sure they're in the same perspective. I'm not sure if you plotted a perspective grid, but it doesn't look like you were following one. This is most obvious with the girl. Her upper body looks like the horizon line is very high, but her lower body makes it look like it should be really low. Remember that you will be able to see the BOTTOM of objects when they're ABOVE the horizon line and that you should see the TOP of objects BELOW the horizon line. So make sure you always know where your horizon line is. I decided to place the horizon line high up which meant I had to change a lot of the angles of things. This is because every object has it's own vanishing point or multiple vanishing points! This means that the angles/sides of an object should all converge to a point or 2 points on the horizon line. There is an infinite number of vanishing points and every object can either have their own vanishing point or share one (or both) with another object. So practice making sure all your planes are consistent with whether or not you are looking at it above or below the horizon line. This can be done by plotting down your horizon line and then drawing a box whose sides converge on the vanishing point and then using that as a guide to construct your character. Eye level/Horizon line is the most important thing to make characters look like they exist in the same space! This was helpful for me and something that I learned from kim jung gi and if you're interested these are some of his lectures posted by someone named Mike Bop on youtube - Importance of Eye Level in Anatomy & Buildings Art Lesson (From Kim Jung Gi) - Drawing from Eye Level & Controlling Proportions Art Lesson (From Kim Jung Gi) - Cats, People and Objects with Proportion Art Lesson (From Kim Jung Gi) Hope this helps!

I just realised something I didn't explain well is that even different parts of the body will usually have different vanishing points which is why it is much more important to know where your horizon line is than it is to focus on vanishing points. As long as you understand how much of certain planes will be visible the closer or farther away they are from the horizon line/eye level, you'll see instant improvement. The boxes I mentioned are simply to give you a guide for that. For example, as you move up the box containing the man, you'll notice that less and less of the top planes of his body are visible. The lower you go down the box, the more the top planes are visible. So even though the body masses like the ribcage, pelvis, and head all have different vanishing points (because they're angled in space different from each other) the amount visiblity of the top and bottom planes will dictate whether or not they look like they're in the same space or not. This is what I meant when I said the girl's lower body looked like the horizon was lower and the upper body made it look like it was higher. Because it looks like we're looking down at the head and shoulders because of how much of the top plane I can see. Whereas with the legs it looks like I'm looking up at them because of how much of the bottom planes I can see. This happens with the man too but to a more believable degree. I does look like we're looking down on all of him for the most part. Hopefully this explanation didn't just make things more confusing! Focus on eye level and the horizon line above all else!

hi, fun drawing. I do think they are no aligned correctly in space. Drawing the floor plan, and use it to align the body position is really useful. If your look for the feet line, she is more forward in space. The man's pose indicates she is more aligned with the stool, so there is a dismatch. you could also draw a top view, helps with positioning objects/people on 3D space. (srry for the poor lines, I was using my laptop touchpad)

Quick edit: thank you Rei for mentioning it, but you can ignore the wonky hands! i majorly procrastinated them so i am aware they are wrong atm
