Title: Chuunin Hinata

The Story:
Nearly three years have passed since Naruto left the village for his training. He’s since returned, and he ran into a few friends along the way. After a mission from the Hidden Sand Village, Hinata, Shino, Kiba and Akamaru made their appearances. All I could say at this point is, “the more things change, the more they stay the same.”

My Take:
I like this look for Hinata, I guess you can say it’s a matter of taste, as I happen to like long hair on girls. The outfit she wears appears to be similar to what she wore before Naruto and Jiraya left the village. I’m not 100% sure about the colors, so I went with a variation of what I’ve seen so far.

What I Like Most:
I am pleased with all the things that I was able to fix here. Her eyes especially are looking much better than last time, and I abandoned my “original” style with her hair, and went back to the actual style.

What I Dislike Most:
One of my common mistakes in most of my drawings is that their heads are too small, this time is no different, and I still could have done a little better with her hair.

Final Thoughts:
Despite my lack of a real background, I am very happy with this effort. It wasn’t intended to be anything really difficult, so I was able to finish this one very quickly.

For those of you that are new to my drawings, I use a different style than you are used to. I have nothing against the original style, I just wanted to have a style that was different than everything else.
