Maybe...Not Everything Is Troublesome - ShikaChou

FINALLY did this. It is for the Chouji Festival that a friend is hosting on DA. There were some categories to choose from so, naturally, I chose the one for pairings. ; I'm so predictable.

Chouji!! He's so cute! >3< And of course loads of hearts for Shikamaru, since he's my favourite in Naruto ever, but Chouji really makes the picture, I think.
It was my first time really drawing him, so be gentle, please. ^.^;;
After messing up on the inking and redrawing the entire thing from scratch, I was all worked up like, "Will I colour this, or make it black and white?" I settled on the latter, obviously. I haven't done shading like that in AGES, so I know it's a bit wonky. x:

I still think this is the cutest Naruto pairing .EVER.!
And people who don't see it (at least a little bit!) should go back and reread through chapters 189 to 191. *firm nod*
