Description
Stephani dancing on a hillside. She loves spring!
I finally managed to stab the perfectionist inside of me so i could draw more freely. It's one of the biggest artistic issues i have. I have a knack of overworking things until i grow bored of what I'm working on or lose motivation completely. So i decided to start drawing under other conditions so i can become faster and more efficient as an artist. First of all, a time limit. If i have limited time i won't zoom in and focus on details as much. Use a rugged brush. If i stay away from sharp, round brushes i can't draw any perfect lines, plus it's easier to give the image a more painting like texture. And last but not least, limit the amount of layers with no more then two. Again, to simplify the complexity of the drawing but also learn to ignore minor mistakes. I will make a few more images in a similar style for further practice!
And it will most likly be more of my OC experiments since so many of you wanted me to draw more of them!

Awww this is really amazing and adorable!! Love it sooooo much!! I still wonder how you keep your originality up!! The texturing on it is quite different from other ones like this I've seen, which is really good!! And I very much like the background of the piece too. The colours used also add to the impact and in short I really like how you've done this. It's very impressive as always!! It does make me wonder how an ordinary person can be so good at art!! It makes me very jealous :3 XD Keep up the good work !! ~Lilkatfan

I'm an idiot XD I never finished my critique and sent it off (fixing that now).
Anyway, I always love seeing your characters and this time is no exception. Stephani looks so incredibly amazing here that I honestly was left flabbergasted when I first laid eyes on this picture. The background alone is enough for me to envy your artistic skills, what with the awesomeness of those clouds and blades of grass. However, when you reach the real center you are immediately greeted with a sense of emotion. I finally understand why I like your art so much. Your characters aren't flat and repeating (in terms of posing), but they come alive! Each individual can plainly see your characters joy, sorrow, and personality in each and every picture.
Stephani looks like she is honestly having so much fun in the sun. The way the colors are makes me think it's warm with a nice breeze. Her face just screams that she is so relaxed. I just really love this picture<3
The only thing I would point out is that she seems to be a little thinner than normal. That's it really XD. A truly wonderful piece Ribera.

This feels like it has so much motion to it *.* Normally when I draw the poses just look so stiff, like they are standing still, but it's almost like you can feel her movements. Well done my friend!

Nice job. I don't feel like critiquing right now because I'M a little low on self a steam. but after awhile, this pic is going to get quite a review.
Because I enjoy the quality and passion of this piece. yeah I can still give it a good review, but best are when I don't feel so down.

Spring....
It's still cold here.
Spring is a bit late, Winter is overdoing it. :<
I kinda like Winter, and love the cold, but now even I can't wait for some nice warm Sunshine, and seeing the surroundings flourish more colors of Spring, and enjoying the fresh aired, moderately fine warm weather on a bench.
