Sketching along as I watch!
Happy birthday Naruto 😭😭😭
Started watching Naruto all over again, and I would like to say I'm really enjoying it so far.
(Well I'm only at episode 5 as of right now cuz I don't have a lot of time, but still, it's been awesome! Nostalgia is a powerful thing)
I've been meaning to binge the show for a while, since all my knowledge of Naruto is from my incredibly hazy memory from childhood, the (amazing) wiki and the fanfics?? Oh the fanfics-
I feel like an imposter sometimes, to be frank. Probably am?? 🤔 Didn't pay attention since the chunin exam in sand.
Would like for that to change.
These seven (yes seven) are my studies from chapter 1 and episode 1.
(Coincidentally just in time for Naruto's birthday?? I guess I did try to crunch it in a bit)
It's nice to try a different rendering style once in a while - even though these are really rough and messy haha!
Lighting really changes the mood man, I love light.
About Naruto, Iruka, and their dynamic in the first episode - I cried a bit watching them again for the first time in years.
Might be the nostalgia acting up, but I love them so much??
A clear and simple relationship, but incredibly effective and relatable - am I kissing ass?? Dunno, I'm just a sucker for this particular type of bond between characters.
I don't think Iruka appear much in the show later, but imma enjoy it while it lasts.
