Leaf's Next Top Model

Title: Leaf’s Next Top Model

The Story:
A good friend of mine is a fan of “America’s Next Top Model,” and that made me remember how much of a fan of Tyra Banks I was growing up. In the meantime Well… to make a long story short, it all resulted in me drawing Ino in a model-ish pose.

My Take:
Even though the first time was pretty good, I’m glad this effort came out better than that. This time around, I made sure her head wasn’t too small, adjusted her left arm, finished her right hand, colored her hair a little differently, and I remembered the earring this time.

What I Like Most:
This one looks much better now that I finally got her right hand in there, and the coloring is better this time around. I may have mentioned that I like how this pose turned out here, and I got that shadow to a point where I liked it, and it wasn’t really in the way of anything.

What I Dislike Most:
I think I still could have done better with her right arm, and I’m not 100% satisfied with her hair, especially where it hits the ground. As far as my coloring is concerned, I could have done a better job around her right shoulder as well.

Final Thoughts:
As for drawing Ino, this turned out to be my best effort so far. Despite those errors I mentioned before, I’m still very impressed with this effort. As a matter of fact, this one will probably be added to my ever growing collection of wallpaper.
