Leaf village's knucklehead ninja

Hi there! This is a sketch of Naruto. I've always loved this show since I was like thirteen. I thought I'd post this before painting it. I don't know what the outcome is going to be after I've painted. And just so you know, I'm not that good at miniature paintings. But I'm always up for challenges. I decreased the brightness so that the shades become clear. It's done with pencil.



If the painted one looks good, I'll post that soon. If not, then
=P

Wow! This is by far my favorite drawing of yours I absolutely love the sketchiness to it. The shading is awesome and your lines are so clean, but look rough at the same time which is cool. Incredible job with the hair and expression. The look on his face really draws you into the picture.

I have like... zero complaints. I just love everything about this!

ok, maybe just one. It doesn't look like you finished his body, the legs and hand just kinda taper off into nothing. I'm guessing this might've been where your reference ended? Maybe you can cut the paper at the bottom so that it matches up where your drawing ended. Right now, there's a pretty big blank area at the bottom of the page.

Oh, and since you're editing anyway, instead of cutting the paper, you can just resize it on the computer. On Gimp, use the box select to get the area around Naruto, and then hit the resize button. make Naruto larger so that he take up more of the paper and we don't get that blank space at the bottom. If that makes ay sense x)
