Drawing your childhood.
While I am still thinking of something relatively informational to post (I commend big sis @arrliinn for actually coming up with stuff to post everyday haha), I'll be posting drawings I did from a few years back.
This is entitled, "Team 7 - Smile."
Drawn in December 2014, it was a response to the ending of the phenomenal Japanese manga, Naruto. It was originally a traditional drawing (November 2014) that I converted to digital a month later. I was so heartbroken by Naruto's ending that I just had to draw. I was literally crying drawing this.
Naruto manga was run for more than a decade that it spanned my whole childhood. And drawing this? It was like drawing my childhood into one piece. (Er, no pun intended... if you get what I mean.)
No one is too old to cry, especially when it involves the ending of something that definitely defined his/her childhood.
I literally grew up alongside Naruto, Sakura, Sasuke, and the rest of the Konoha 11. Drawing Team 7 - Smile, with Naruto as Hokage, Sasuke and Sakura married, and Kakashi still their sensei, felt like letting go of them finally. (I couldn't even begin to watch Boruto, the second-generation Naruto.)
I drew Naruto fanarts so many times that I remember drawing Team 7 even without reference. I grew up with Naruto and the anime OST I loved so much that my roommate and I used to search guitar chords over the internet and sing to them (we were crazy, and our other roommates couldn't do anything about it haha). I don't think no other anime or manga could ever replace Naruto in my heart. Not even Sailor Moon. Or Slam Dunk. Or Yu Yu Hakusho.
I learned to read hiragana and katakana because of Naruto, too! What a big influence it brought to my life.
Haha. Thanks to @merej99's Community Engangement Challenge I am "forced" to come up with a sensible (ehem) post daily. Oh, and 500 comments too! That's a lot for me but I am trying my level best. 😉
Re: your post, I have never watched Naruto or any other of the animes you mentioned but yu yu hakusho, slum dunk and sailor moon. There rest are alien to me. 😂😂
Oooh. Until when? HAHAHAH. Let's see how you can manage the 500 comments. LOL.
YOU DON'T KNOW ONE PIECE???!! Roulan LOVES One Piece! He keeps telling me which episode he is already every time I talk to him hahahaha.
I watch One Piece with them, but there's just too many episodes - endless! haha

draw the lion. haha
Upboated!
Yay, thanks, @smug-chan! :)
I found it!!!!
Ohh~ sweeeeet! <3
I totally understand how you felt. :(
Every time a great anime ends, it's like "What now? How's my life going to be?" hahaha~
Naruto is also a really great anime, though I focused more on the "manga version"... I'm yet to start watching, Boruto, too. hahah
Nice digital art! :D I'd love to see the traditional version!!! :)
PS: I can't do digital art, at all.. hahaha~ xD
This is so true. T_T And yes, I also focused more on the manga, too haha. The anime bored me (too many fillers) and the manga was cooler in my opinion.
This was the traditional one LOL. It had no colors because I drew it right after reading the last chapter in the manga and I was crying. TT_TT I was such a crybaby for Naruto.
Re: digital art. Oh, you can check out lots of tutorials on deviantart or youtube. 😉 I learned from them hahaha. And I'm sure you'll enjoy it as much as I do once you get used to it.
Thank you so much for showing me the traditional version! Both are amazing!! Naruto is LIFE! Ohh~ I miss Naruto all of a sudden... hahaha.. xD
every adult is once a child
That is so true. ❤️️

STOPAlthough I want to catch up with naruto, they're are just so many fillers to watch. I know how you feel though, growing up with team 7 and watching their journey until the end. I think I'll just finish the manga. :)
Yes, so many fillers in the anime! It became so annoying I stopped watching. But the manga was really good. ;) Do finish it!!!
What websites do you recommend to read naruto?
Try Mangapanda here or Mangahere in this one. :D
Wow great talent 😉😊
Thank you po! :)
I was sad when naruto ended too :( But the anime dragged it out quite a bit... lol. Next up... Bleach's final arc :O
I love this and the story behind it! Great work. Glad to know there's more people drawing anime around here.
I'm a beginner artist myself focusing on anime and manga. I'm new to steemit but mind checking out my posts if you get the chance? I'd highly appreciate it.
Keep up the great art work and I look forward to seeing more! Followed.
Hi, @fernaureason! Sure, I'll check them out! Looking forward to more from you. :) If you want, you can also check out the anime-works of @pinqo, @tegoshei, and @djynn. They're awesome artists!
Actually, there are more, and you could network with mooore other artists by having yourself listed here at the The Steem Artist Directory started by @pinqo. 😊❤️️ Have a good day, @fernaureason (love your username)!
