Someone told me I should do a sketch dump of the Shikamaru drawings I've been stockpiling. I picked the most recent ones and threw them together. The two that look more finished were sketched and scanned in, then I cleaned up the lineart. They're not finished, so I included them here because I may not do anything with them. I do love Shikamaru so much . . . I'd say I draw him almost five times more than I do any other character! Obsessive? Yeah . . .

By the way, I don't use refs for him, if you're wondering. That's why he probably looks slightly more mature and thinner than Kishimoto-sensei draws him. It's my personal preference . . .

And this is just a dump, so don't worry about faving or commenting unless you're a Shika freak like me! Now I have to figure out what I'm going to have to do for his birthday pic by the end of this week . . . Maybe a birthday comic for my favorite lazybones . . .
