Thanks RW. The 'being hard on myself' bit is an old habit of mine I was given that I seem to apply to a lot of things. It just needs time to work out.
Anyhoo! I appreciate the words about how I'm doing things. What amazes is me is that I was intending to wait until this week to get started on drawing. I'm kind of glad I didn't.
Speaking of Rika art, I just finished some more work with her in it. I'd been meaning to do this one for a while but I needed more practice considering the content is more than a pose.
