Naruto is one of my all time favorites, Masashi Kishimoto is goated. I was reading an article where (I think it was Kishimoto, or another mangaka) said that when it comes to composing an image, mangaka have nothing of anime makers (that was the jist any way), imo that's not as true in Kishimoto's case.
I love Naruto manga and your breakdown of Kishimoto's camera angle choices. The many possibilities of where to place the camera (as long as you can draw it) are exciting when making comics and illustrations. It's also fun to see how he influenced your artwork in the examples.
Ooo… I like considering those dramatic perspectives and what they do for story telling.
Yes! They are so fun to draw, too! :D
