Bland artwork post :P
Jul. 19th, 2005 05:42 pmEhhh... Just a few drawings from the past few weeks. Most are sketches, seven of the eleven are Naruto-related, all are black and white, and none are very spectacular. :P Just warning you--don't expect much.
In case there's anyone out there who is offended by shounen-ai (PG-rated, I suppose PG-13 if you consider Naruto licking Sasuke's mouth somehow inappropriate), you probably don't want to click this.
Feel free to offer suggestions, critiques, etc., because all of these are in pencil and can be changed. So...all comments are appreciated majorly.

Because I'm just weird. I actually like how I drew Tsume (he was originally the only thing I did on this picture), just because I think I portrayed the feeling of an angry wolf fairly well. The Pikachu was added as an afterthought, because I thought it was humorous. Of course, this meant I had to explain to my whole English class why I did a drawing of a snarling wolf and a Pikachu when I indeed love Pikachu, but... I guess that's what I get for opening my sketchpad before class. ^^;;

This was...exceedingly quick, and therefore hardly even qualifies as "sketch". I mean...look at the fangirl. X_x;; Talk about pathetic. It was mainly done as Sasuke-practice, and because... Well, he IS only thirteen (at least, before the flash-forward and all that). XD

I think this was my second or third Naruto fanart I ever did... Just silliness, I tried to make it look more interesting by adding some hatching. The ramen doesn't look like ramen. >< Also, the love kanji can be used in that context, right? *Unsure about that* Meh.

Because Naruto is adorable. ♥ Very quick. Actually part of a page of chibis and such that I decided to cut off because they're ugly.

I'm silly. XD Sasuke looks too shy and un-Sasuke-like, but oh well. More done for the concept than anything else... And it's kind of cute.

I have an obsession with realistic Pokémon. I like how this turned out--with whiskers and evidence of muscle structure and other such details. I also like Eevee's pose. XD Umbreon's pose seems a little weird to me, but I'm not going to worry about it. It was fun to draw. :D

Entirely random shounen-ai. The seme *still* looks too girly--and that's even after I made him shirtless. x_x Also, the puppy-boy uke needs more symmetry. His eyes aren't symmetrical, and his shoulder doesn't quite look right either, but I'll fix it later. I don't know why the seme (who is supposed to have wolf ears) has that Anbu-like mark in the middle of his forehead, but...um...feeble attempt at originality? Done quickly, and it shows.

Yes, I stole it off a screenshot. If you know what screenshot it is, you get a cookie. XD It's easy. I had fun with the shading on this, and I think it was good practice, although obviously with a reference and all.

Very sketchy--kind of odd. I did it in the middle of the night. @_@ The cat looks retarded, and I don't think a cat is a good animal to represent Sasuke anyway, but I couldn't think of anything else. The kunai looks wimpy and bendy, and the shuriken doesn't look like a shuriken. Needs some editing, but it was fun to draw and I kind of like it... They're "secretly" holding hands. XD;;

I did this last night late with Nicole. I started out drawing a weird-looking Pikachu that I wanted to look "sharp", started adding accessories, began shading, and I eventually ended up with this. It was shaded with .5 mm lead, so it took a really long time to shade... Especially the beach ball.

I don't know why the scan on this looks so weird, as far as the lights and such go, but I enjoyed drawing this wayyy too much for it to be healthy. There are a number of things wrong with it, and I'm trying to pinpoint precisely what those things are before I ink it, so if anyone has any constructive criticism, I'd be happy to have it. o_o It's pretty sketchy at this point, and it needs fixing so I can color it and such.
I'm considering posting some of these in the sasuxnaru community and maybe on BMGf once I get a little further with them...
I'm *so* happy I finished my Health for the day. Of course, I get another 9-11 hours of work tomorrow, so it's short-lived, but... At least it's something. ._.;;

Date: 2005-07-20 01:37 am (UTC)Especially the Umbreon. ♥
As for, you know... constructive criticism, I have none. So I'll sit here and squee instead. :D

Date: 2005-07-20 02:17 am (UTC)Your kanji and kana are very pretty. *_* Mine is so sloppy. XD
Will yaoi for no reason. XDDD That is LAV! XD Hinata is especially cute. Sasuke does look a little OOC, but Naruto is perfect. ^_^
The eeveelutions are cool! I don't think the Umbreon's pose is odd, it just looks like it's on a different plane than the other two, or something. The espeon also looks a little wide.
The seme does look a little girly, although I can't tell why. Maybe try making the hair by his neck flip in instead of out...if you haven't already. I dunno. Oh, my friend Amanda really likes it! (I hope you don't mind that I showed her; she loves that type of shounen-ai especially.)
That SasuNaru pic is perfect, I love it...I can't find a single thing wrong with it. O_o
The angel/devil pic is cool! Secretly holding hands. XD I like it a lot. The animals do need some work, as you said, but otherwise it's great. ^_^
I think the angle of Naruto's shoulder is a litte odd. Otherwise, that pic is love. =P

Date: 2005-07-20 03:47 am (UTC)You really think my kana are nice? Thanks! I don't know about that, but okay. XD
You can show your friends my drawings, don't worry. That's what they're on the internet for. :3 Glad she likes it! Tell her I say hi. XD
Seme-boy is cursed with girliness. *Cries*
I'm probably just going to re-draw the cat altogether, and the fox needs fixing, too.
Thanks again!
Meowsness.
Date: 2005-07-20 03:43 am (UTC)Otherwise, Sweet ^_^
Re: Meowsness.
Date: 2005-07-20 03:53 am (UTC)Yeah, the Pikachu's in a weird style, so proportions are intentionally odd. She was actually going to be weirder than she turned out being... ^^;;
Thanks for the comments on the kiss picture-- just so you know, there are two little things about it I did on purpose: They're supposed to look stiff and a little freaked out, and they're supposed to look like they don't know what they're doing. They're only thirteen, and a bit confused at that. XD
Anyway, thanks a lot! I'll take your comments into consideration. Constructive criticism is the best. ♥

Date: 2005-07-20 05:25 am (UTC)Kay, constrcutive criticism for your last one (Since that's the one I really want to see inked and colored)::
Naruto's forearm looks just a little bit long and considering the position of the spiral (Which is in the middle of his back) his shoulder angle looks a little weird (I think Hitchi may have said this). On Sasuke, his foot looks a little odd, and his forearm looks like it's bent because the arm-protector wrinkle doesn't line up with the curve of his forearm... Or at least that's what I've observed. It's AWESOME though. Totally Color it!! I love your color jobs!
Can't wait to see it.
Loves

This is probably loaded with typos... I refuse to go back and correct them. I'm very short on time right now.

Date: 2005-07-20 05:34 am (UTC)Ah, thanks for the constructive criticism! Now I have lots of things to fix and fiddle with. X3 I kept trying to fix it in the lines at AX, but I had people who are...um...new to shounen-ai with me, so they kept telling me to put it away. XD They were a bit afraid to be seen with me.
Yes, Sasuke's foot... Hehehe... I've been meaning to fix that, as it's kind of a mess of weird lines at the moment.
Oh, and Naruto's forearm! OMG, I promised myself I was going to fix that before I scanned it. And then I forgot to. XD By the time I remembered, I was in the middle of the post.
I'm definitely seeing what you're saying with everything. Time to fix! *Takes out eraser* I hope the paper doesn't get wrinklier. That's not a word (is it?). If not, it should be.
Wah, I want you to come back now! ;_;
