Hey guys! 👋
I hope you're enjoying good health! ☺️
Well I'm bearing flew for over 2 weeks🤧 and it's not getting any better 😷.
But it cannot stop me from making artworks 🙃. Though it was difficult to focus and took too many days to finish, yet I made it to the end🍂.
Well, it's my first time that I am posting in The Anime Realm. I am nervous and anxious at the same time.
So let's divert our words for Iruka.
The other I was discussing some cartoons that I used to watch back in my childhood. It was kind of nostalgic discussion and in that came across to know the anime Naruto. I had never watched anime before, out f curiosity I watched it's first 2 episodes. And instantly I had a favourite among the characters.
Yes it was Iruka sensie!
In a most obvious sense he was a father figure for Naruto, and tried at every point not feel him like he did in his own childhood. But if we see, Iruka is a person who clears off all grudges against Naruto. He works on Naruto's potential, he's the only one who truly believes in him and protects him no matter what.
So I decided to draw Iruka Sensie.

The Process
Honestly speaking I can't explain in words what I went through while making it.
I tried to be a little professional 🤭, and first divided the figure into simplest shapes. It was looking so weird 😂.
Made the details into the sketch.
It almost took 2 hours to just sketch.
Then I outlined it. I was very nervous at his face so I just left his face un-outlined.
And here she was,my niece, wanting me to work while holding her in my lap.
As I mentioned my nervousness, I took start from the bottom. It was the second day, when me with all confidence, was thinking of completing it in that day.
But I could only paint his legs.
I was being constantly checked by my anxiety. I was very peculiar about the colour I was using and focused keenly in every crease of his clothing.
Though it was looked fine at the end. And I left it with positive attitude.
After that I worked on the jacket he was wearing. It was not a difficult task. Just using different shades of gray.
Then I worked on upper blue part that were his arms mostly. It also went through swiftly.
Though I got tired and left the remaining work for the next day.
Then added details over his weapon.
Here my anxiety was reaching it heights.
And at one point I had almost ruined it by using wrong colour for the skin.
But then I tried to control my nerves, and struggled not to get panicked. One thing that makes watercolors favourite of mine, is that if we make a mistake we can simply use a wet brush to reactivate the paint even over the dried page and take it off. And this was exactly what I did.
And look what I did again with his hair🤦( i don't know who says art is a therapy 😅, a stream of different anxieties follow, the moment you start thinking to draw something).
Then I worked on background and the lettering on the side.
And guys it finally completed.
So how is it?
To me it's just the correction of a pile of mistakes 🙃
AHm! I think today I wrote a lot🥲
And honestly I still have so much to tell about the process, literally can talk about each and every brush stroke, but will not just consume that much of your time 🤗
(And I also forgot to tape out the work from board, it's still lying with work on🤧)
Okay, that was all!
Take care 💓
See ya tomorrow 🌷
Bye bye 👋
