Description

Ok, So y'all know; I'm not a ninja fan.


Everyone who draws in a japanese style has a crack at certain things, the list so far is 'An Angel', 'A Ninja', 'A school girl' and a 'cat-chibish thing' (Which im happy to avoid forever) regardless, this is my ninja thing.

This was drawn extreamly quickly but painted even quicker; i figuted becasue it was so sketchy that a rushed colourjob wouldn't look too out of place, which it turned out all right i guess. This one almost made it to the scraps to be honest, im not the illustration's biggest fan. But hey- no artist should like his/her own wor right?

I went with a winter feeling becasue everyone here on the northen hemisphere will now its FREEZING this year, snow and frost and all the other cold stuff. I had fun trying to nail the 'Snowy' look.

Hope you like this little sketch

Wow. It's spectacular.
Love the mystery added into it, although it'd be cool to have something in the distance.

Great job!
(I'm not a ninja person either.)

I'd like to think those cliches you listed are there so that we AVOID them. You see one ninja, you've seen them allll.

You definitely got the mood of this pic down. I'm still feeling a little iffy about the composition. His body is "too compacted" towards the left side of the page, y'know? It's not so much where he's standing (which is a neat way to exploit negative space) as it is ~how~ he's standing. You could either puff his chest out more in a heroic stance or slouch him back in a cool, sly manner. Stood upright it just feels neutral. ¦|

(and besides, I'd sooner sub out my ninjas/schoolgirls/angels/nekojin for ROBOTS, AND ONLY ROBOTS. XD)

lol robots is a good one, unless they are mechs, then thats another cliche lol.

Yeah i see what you mean about the pose, im still strugling lately with cross that bridge of what does and doesn;t look good in terms of stance but i guess i just need to get through all the bad til i can get to the good

Thanks for the advice though man, really appriciate it.

Very nice pic, great composition, love the background (the trees coming through the mist are lovely) and the colours and really nice detail in the outfit.
