she manipulates and controls diamond, and so thats why those kunai are transparent.
I supppose it might technically be fanart... but I don't think so, she just happens to be a ninja based on the naruto world setup, not necessarily the actually show... yea?

go ahead and crit, redline, or whatever you feel is necessary.

Let's meet up again...





I'm going to ignore the basic anatomy in this one, since that's something that comes with observation, practical application, practice, and french fries.

You've got a good setup here, with some great action going on. What keeps it from being as "popping" as it could be lies in the foreshortening and proportion. The biggest is in the hand and kunai, as the hand is large and the knives, which seem to be thrown, are smaller and keep the eye from establishing that they were thrown by the hand. What could fix this is making the knives larger.

Another point in the foreshortening is how big the arm and shoulder of the acting hand are, though I can very well tell where the elbow is, which is a very good thing. Keeping the shoulder and arm smaller up to about the elbow and wrist will give your drawing more depth, and heightening the action.

You've done a great job drawing the actual hand, and the basic pose works pretty well. Overall a pretty good piece!

yea... well... I didn't know how to draw flying kunai XD; so I drew them on a separate paper and put them on there, after scanning, do you know if anyone has a tutorial on such things.
personally if I cannot find a way to properly fix it I will excuse it as those werent thrown, but "generate" from her gourd, and just CG that in >.> xp;

... o.o oh, yea, I see it... hm... yea, I need to fix the arm...
I wonder... if I can get someone to redline it or something to gimme a good show of what it should look like XD;

thanks, its probably the most dynamic I've drawn in awhile xp;
I'm not good at actiony poses, need a tut for those or something.

on second thought, wanna gimme a run down on the proportion/anatomy issues, I wont learn without the issues being pointed out xp

I'd say it looks a lot better! The proportions and foreshortening really make it "pop", in a good way. It looks great.
