When Naruto Art Used To Be Good

[Booker]

This is a nostalgic thread for people to post some of their favorite art from Naruto... Back when it was good and some effort was put into it.

One of my personal favorites:

Same here. Kishi's drawing became way better in part 2.

(1) First one is good.

(2) This is just vauge lines and shading.

(3) He drew like 3 different hands. Mother of copy and paste.

Drawing is my hobby. Believe it or not (2) isn't that easy to draw even if it's just vague lines and shading.

part1 manga was ugly and terrible lookn lmao you thinks its bttr

 

[Sea Of Thy Soul]

part 1 anime has better art than part 2.

part 2 manga art is better than part 1 (chapters 1 to something, maybe 40) art.

(3) He drew like 3 different hands. Mother of copy and paste.

(1) Indeed it is.

(2) It still takes a lot of skill to draw something like that.

(3) If you look clearly you can see that each hand is somewhat different to the next one. Even if he did copy and paste parts of it, it still takes both time, and skill to draw that thing.

I am usually not one of those 'Let's see if you can do better than Kishi' people, but you should honestly give it a try his time. Although the storyline has started to suck ass right now, Kishi still does deserve some appreciation for the work he puts into the drawings of the manga, as it is quite good, and most likely takes up a lot of his time.

This is pure badass imo:

Both are among my top favorites; and loved the mythologic referances; it is my fave cover art.

lol trust me I'm no artist, I understand it's difficult.

Maybe it's just me... The art in Part 2 is different from Part 1, yeah? I just feel like Part 1 had a... grittier look to it. More pencil-y, if that's a thing. The art seemd thinner overall, and more sketchy.

Part 2 has it's great moments, but it's just different to me. The art seems "thicker" and I can't shake this feeling a lot of it is done with computers.

 

[Lightbringer]

I disagree, I think it's miles better now than what it was back then

 

[MWQ]

I think that part 2 has relatively better art work than part 1.But one thing has to be kept in mind about the art work; part 1 has more consistent good artwork while in part 2 some chapter are brilliant while other are just effortless crap,and the same goes for the anime.

But as an anime watcher,I think that the part 1 anime was better.It had better emotional theme(music,tune whatever you call it).The fights were also more enjoyable to watch and were not too over hyped(consistent good artwork)
In part 2 they used/played the same tunes over and over again,its pathetic.The fights,even though intriguing,over hyped to an extent.

I get your point. Indeed, the difference between the artwork is very noticeable, an example would be the difference between my sig, and this picture.

Personally, I enjoy both types. Each part has it's good moments, and each part has it's bad moments. It's not really that one is better or worse than the other, they're simply different, which type a person prefers simply depends on that persons taste.

Is it just me or does Orochimaru look worse now?

 

[Gesshoku28]

I think its way better now. Part 1 is more faded while everything in part 2 is clear
