My first attempt at Naruto fanart.

Haven't done fanart in a long time. What inspired me? My boring statistics class.

Since I didn't have any pictures of him on hand, I had to touch up his outfit later. And he actually ended up looking more "realistic" than "anime"... well except for the hair. He also looked older-- so I titled the picture "Naruto at 14."

You can find the head-to-toe sketch here :



And a close-up in colored pencil, here, which I think turned out rather well:



This is a close-up of just the head, the same picture as above, just blown up from the original sketch:





They might take a while to load, sorry.

Drawing Naruto's face was interesting, though. I ended up giving him a pixie-nose, because I think he kinda has one in the anime. I think it'll make him pretty cute later in life. Oddly, he ended up looking almost feminine to me in the final color version, though I really didn't intend it that way.

Profiles of faces are *the* hardest thing for me to draw. I'm amazed that this one turned out so well-- usually I can never make the forehead/nose/mouth/chin line up properly. Mouths especially.
