Been tryna practice consistency in my art lately and who better to doodle than the sand siblings? I have like the opposite problem of same-face where I'll draw the same character five different times and if you take away the colour pallet and hair they'll look like different people every time. Very frustrating.

Probably very easy to tell that I'm very heavily inspired by @/bakapandy; she's who I base a lot of my Naruto art style on because asdfghjkl proportions are hard and Bleach and Sailor Moon trained me to draw very lanky.

You know who's actually the easiest to draw consistently? Temari. Queen has the most frustrating hair but by god I will get her face right every single time. Kankuro's pretty easy, too.

But Gaara? WHy. WhAt. HoW.

Anyways fun fact Yashamaru graduated at 11 according to Narutopedia and I refuse to believe that as his older sister just stood back and said "yeah let me stand back and stay a helpless little civilian". So Karura's in there, too!

Mom's side of the fam really showing up strong in the genes for Temari, huh. I know a lot of people rag on the fact that Temari and Kankuro and Gaara look nothing alike but I beg of you to realize that things can skip a generation. Green eyes? Maybe they're from grandma! And hey, Kankuro looks like the spitting image of his dad without the face paint.

But also can I just say that it's a shame none of the canon siblings got their dad's melanin when they live in a DESERT. Like seriously, that one scene from Gaara's Tsukinome dream, you can tell that Rasa is the only tan one.

Height check: Gaara, throughout FtB/All Roads Lead! Featuring his siblings at the same ages as the version they're next to for comparison :]
