What to draw next?
Are your characters ready for a game of spin the bottle? Switch up the boy and girl kissing by giving the characters different hair. How would he look if you'd draw dreadlocks or glasses on his face? Or the girl with a short hair or odango buns?
You can even change how they feel about one another by changing their facial emotions. Make this a tearful goodbye, giving them sad faces.
What if he kissed her in anger? Or if she was embarrassed to be a part of this cute anime kiss?
