Description The Kunoichi Portraits Series
Sakura Haruno
Temari
Hinata Hyuga
Tenten
Konan

Ino Yamanaka from Naruto, this is the first part of my kunoichi portrait series.

I always liked Kishimoto's character design for Ino She's very pretty!

The flowers included in the border are pansies (the small, dark purple ones), a wood violet (the large one between the pansies) and vincas (the windmill shaped ones)

The light purple in the background was eaten by the scanner

Media: Colored pencils and Chinese ink

Critique is welcome! Please comment before you fave

Why most people I know don't like Ino. I think she's pretty.

Some people just don't like her personality. I think she's fine, she's not really a major character, but yeah I like her physical design a lot

She's so very lovely and the colors are just wonderful~!

One thing I kind of don't like about anime is that it doesn't teach the artist how to draw the nose. Right now it feels like her nose is facing towards the right side of the frame, whereas she is facing us. Look up some nose references and then simplify what the reference looks like. I used to do this a lot until I started using reference, so it's just something people need to study to understand.
Another area that could be corrected would be the width of her neck. Generally, the neck should be about as wide as the head, or it couldn't accommodate for all of the structures in there. That being said, if her neck were at the right proportion to her head, the shoulders are about as wide as three heads, but right now that isn't much of a problem, as you have approximately the correct width of the shoulders.

Keep on creating!

Wow, thanks for the in depth comment!

I've never really thought about the nose... it just never seemed that important to me thanks for pointing that out, I think I know what you mean

Thanks so much again!

Sasukesbiggestfan [2010-05-17 00:50:06 +0000 UTC]

GOOD - I like the way shaded and inked her and i like the idea of puttin flowers.

BAD - her shoulders are way to big and her head makes her look like she is facing to the left but her facial features make her look like he is facing to the right

7.5 out of 10 stars

Let's see:

The good: The colouring is really nice, so is the flowery themeat the bottom. The shading is quite good, too.

The bad: Anatomy. The shoulders are too big, as well as the forehead. I'd make the facial features bigger or the head smaller.
