Description "The Leaf fell from the Tree. It sought refuge with a Snake. Soon the Leaf withered and died only to be resurrected as a Hawk. The Snake tried to constrict the Hawk and ended up as a fine meal. The Hawk wandered in search of its nemesis, the Weasel. The Hawk had no idea just how cunning the Weasel was and how many secrets he had. The answers died along with the Weasel upon the fierce battle with the Hawk. The Hawk's bitter hatred turned to profound confusion born of the Eye. The Eye now holds the Hawk's future."

This was a fun picture to draw. I haven't actually drawn any Naruto art in awhile and so I thought Sasuke would be a nice one to try my hand at.

Enjoy

That's a good lineart, you can feel the "life" in his eyes.

"And now the hawk is srsly fucked up. Too much confusion damaged his little brain"

Love the comment...Very poetic but accurate in the same time.

As for the picture, I love the mix of Kishimoto's style with Bleach. Especially the face. Kubo draws the best faces in manga, and you chose the style mix very well. The body is pretty detailed too, especially the muscle definition.

Great job!

Maybe one suggestion is to make different line weights if you can, through ink blocking and thicker outer lines (for future drawings)...It makes lineart more dynamic.

Actually the style pre-dates both Naruto and Bleach. That's because I got the influence from Tetsuya Nomura. I can't draw the Bleach style for shit XD

Actually is you look at the other art in my gallery you can see that I already know how to do line thickening and such. I don't do it often because I don't like to effect the lighting possibilites in a picture. There are already some slight line thickening here because I made a mistake and had to fix it and it just looked weird in that one area so I added it in select spots.

Thanks for looking

I see...It does make sense actually...Hiding the mistakes
with thick lines. I try to avoid it because many lineartists
say it's bad...Bit sometimes you can't help it.

Tetsuya Nomura? I heard that name, but I can't seem to make the connection
atm...Which manga did he work on?

Yeah that's true. I've done it one more then one occasion. Sometimes the mistake isn't that big a deal and I can just get rid of it when I clean the picture up on Photoshop, but this wasn't one of those times.

Not manga...he's the artist who does all the art for Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts.

Great lineart! I like it a lot, it looks good but it still has it own/your style in it!

The only thing I thought you could have done better is the face shape.

Thanks

I got a lot of influence from Tetsuya Nomura when doing this picture so that's why the head/face is shaped that way.

lol...well if the fangirls ain't liking this then it's shit. I know I've done a good job when a fangirl is draining from all holes over it XD

I could see my way into doing another one. I could do one of your choice if you do a piece for me.

Sounds good...just let me know when you're ready

In the mean time keep your eyes open for a simple and complex colour job on this line art.
