Practice and Patience...

Okay, so this has to be one of my favorite pieces in a long time.
It's got that warm feeling to it that really made me smile when I looked at the finished product.

I'm writing a new story off and on and this part comes up *no spoilers!* and it just moved me so much I had to draw it.

I kind of "borrowed" 's gray backdrop thing used here: [link] because the gray just kind of locked everything in. I was tempted to use a warm color in between the figures and the gray, but wasn't willing to mess up the entire piece because.

P.S, I freaking love Tsunade's hair, I wish Kishimoto would draw it down more often, it's gorgeous.

P.P.S., So yeah...came across this and thought you all would get a kick out of it. I almost cried and you'll know why if you read the above comment: [link] Read the whole chapter, it's hilarious.
