I got a drawing tablet a few months back but until recently have stuck to using it for finer details in my signatures. Inspiration struck however and I decided to draw a bit, in a "pop art" kind of style.

I feel it looks a bit unfinished but at the same time don't want to add too much detail as that's not the way it's supposed to be. Maybe some shading in the hair?

Anyway it's titled "Missing You". All feedback is welcome ^^

Sidenote: Was thinking of doing one of Kushina in a similar style. All that glorious red hair :3

nice job ^^ but the matified color makes it a little bit boring to look at. Maybe play around with that ?
Maybe work with the background a bit

If you'd like to work on it a little more without adding more detail you could play around and experiment with gradients one the hair.

Or even give life to the hair. just extract the hair past it into a new layer and turn it into a .gif then add the motion just by giving diferent textures to the hair. Either way it's just perfect as it is.

I think you just need a background with a little spark. I took a few seconds in gimp to sort of give an idea of what I'd do.

Lighten the grey background, overlay some of the linework with vintage looking texture and perhaps colouring the top will improve it.:)

It's some really nice work for first time free hand, youve got a steady hand!XD
