Title: Chuunin Ino

The Story:
After Team 7 returned home from the Hidden Sand Village, Naruto meets more of his old friends. Ino was one of the last to appear.

My Take:
I really like Ino’s outfit, what can I say, sometimes bare midriffs do it for me. There’s just something about her that just screams “model” to me, hence the pose here, and on the other one. It could be the outfits, or maybe the diets that she keeps mentioning, oh well, whatever.

What I Like Most:
This looks MUCH better than it did the last time it was posted, I like how this pose came out, and I’ve always like how a girl’s hair looks when it’s covering one of her eyes.

What I Dislike Most:
Those hands are usually a thorn in my side, and this time is no different. I’m not really pleased with how they came out. Now that I’m looking at it, her right arm doesn’t look too great either.

Final Thoughts:
I’ve liked Ino from the start of the series, in the beginning she was at the top of her class for female ninja. It’s too bad she let it all go to her head, and let other distractions interfere with her training.

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.
