Artist's Comments

Naruto Children Group, mostly small pen sketches on notebook cept pencil sketches on sketchbook of Sasuke and Neji. I liked how naruto turned out the best.

The biggest trick that this one had is to make then look in some proximity to a 12 year old especially Sshikamaru and Neji. :/

Edit: Updated for Kyuubi Naruto. Why? Because I like characters that have beserk versions of themselves >: D.

Edit2: Updated for Tenten, Tenten, Ino, Rock Lee, and Chouji(Stage 3). I have a lil to say about them:

Rock Lee: Nothing much special here. I wanted to normalize his "unique" eyes somewhat but still retain a little bit of its feeling.

Chouji: I never thought much of this character but when he took the third pill I thought he looked pretty cool(Thin mode :D). I tried to give a shriveled, wrinkled look to his face as to make him look a bit drained. Don't know if that worked :/.

Ino: I never thought too much of her as a character. Bad personally and not particually pretty either. And thats why this rendition turned out bad also.
Tenten: Why are there 2 Tentens? The one on the bottom right corner was the one i started first but then I went back online(I did most of these on the margins of notebooks in class while I was bored) I saw how inaccurate it was to the character. Tenten was a lot sharper looking than what I first depicted, as I thought it looked like XiangFei from the first one. So I redid it.

Furthermore I what I have to add is, when I see fanart I like to see the artist incorperate some of the more subtle features of the character rather than basing the likeness solely on hair, clothes, markings and etc. An example is you can see that Tenten's eyebrows are close to the eyes and sharp(unlike flat like Hinata). Also the eyes peak in the middle similar to Sakura in way (Hinata, Ino, Kurenai=flat|Tsunade=angle out). Also her nose is slightly closer to the mouth than other characters. Anyhow to keep it short thats what I like to see in fanart. But for this to be successful it requires careful and unique character design on part of the original artist. For artists like Kishimoto or that Bleach artist, it's relatively easier as their characters are not soley based on beauty but when you get to artists like CLAMP it gets relatively difficult as the facial features become indistinct.

It's nice to see your take on of the characters. ^^ I like how you drew the trio (Naruto, Sakura and Sasuke) the best, since I'm unfamiliar with the other characters ... Naruto still has that mischevious (?) look on his face. Other than that, I really don't have any advice to give you. Good job! =]
:iconladre:
Oh yes i must fave this one. You did a great job rendering these characters young and realistically. I couldn't draw realism from no reference to save my life. You did such a great job on realism yet kept them more recognizable than most anime-style fanart ^^ :clap: Great set of sketches!
:iconidnar:
The only characters that I did from memory is this one is Naruto and Sakura. I really can't remember the features of the rest so. Most of time I use real picture and original artworks references to do the semi-realistic translation myself so don't feel bad.
:iconkurisutin:
Shikamaru YAY! I like how Naru Turned out too, but why is his chin half cut off??
:iconidnar:
Oh, um I never drew below that, its all basically class notes theres no point. ^_^;
:iconseranatra:
OI! verry spiff! o_O they're so... prettyfull...
:icongarbagepicker:
I like how Neji came out along with Sasuke, even kishimoto said it was hard to make him look 12 in the anime his facial features aren't like a regular 12 year olds but then again who in Naruto looks their age? O_o lol But nice job I like how they have all turned out.
