Description
I heard a song earlier tonight that reminded me a lot of Kataang (you know you're an Avatard when you associate every song you hear with something from Avatar. I even mentally turned "Shut Up and Drive" into an Appa tribute. o__O YEAH.)So I got the strong urge to draw some Kataang fanart, but then I remembered my last attempt at Kataang (which was NOT pleasant), and thought, before I do any character interaction, I should probably practice drawing humans some more (because I still stink at it, and I've never drawn either Katara or Aang before.)
So I put that song on loop for two hours and drew this. :3
It kind of makes me sad that I didn't draw much of the Gaang before Season Three was almost on top of us. I never got a chance to draw Katara with her hair loopies (and the Katara penguin doesn't count.) I suppose I could draw pre-S3 Katara, but all the cool kids are drawing her with Ursa hair these days, so I will too. XD
Also, I apologize for throwing the old "Generic Katara Pose" at you. Look! She's BENDING WATER! O: Who'da thunk it?
I tried to make it a little different by making the water "whips" red, but once I did that I knew I'd have to make yet another orange sunset glowy background.
Dang it! I blame that on Dongbu Feng trivia! CURSE YOU, ORANGE!!! O:<
But anyway, enjoy my rushed Katara practice. xD
(I'll have to draw the bottom half of her some other time. xP)
Katara belongs to Mike, Bryan and Nick.
(FUN FACT: When I was coloring the water whips, the only thing I could think about was orange Kool-Aid. It was very distracting.)

The style looks so much like it was done in Corel Painter!
Was it?
Because it looks like it was digitally painted
Anyway good job on the shadows of the picture :]
And if i was mistaken in the choice of words then just to make it clear, I mean how you made some places darker on it depending on the light
I was about to say blending or shading but that doesn't sound right
Disregard the whole rambling part >_<
Just good job, ok? :]

; She's not that bad...kinda like some of my older stuff. You're good at proportion, just not at faces.
I keep expecting an eyeball to come floating up one of those...
Sorry. I just played the water temple for the THIRD time in three days. I have all the treasuree chests memorized. -sigh-

Hmm, orange Kool-Aid? Your insane.
Anyways, great picture. The background really highlights her newfound look.

She's bending a Red Chuchu from The Legend of Zelda! D: Quick, Katara! Bottle the red Chuchu jelly to replenish your hearts!
I personally don't see anything wrong with her face (on account your style adapts to humans in its own special way, much like mine. XD), but her hands are a little...longish. Better than the chubby hands I draw, but yeah, a little lengthy on the fingers and palms there, Cubie. XP
But overall, this is a great picture. Has sort of a Final Fantasy feeling (and then Katara Sends all the unsent souls of a destroyed village...) mixed in with Avatar, which is always good. Good job!

Oh snap! XD That does look like a Chuchu! At least it's not one of those purple ones (you can't trust 'em.)
I think I still have a long way to go with my faces and hands. Hopefully I'll get better at them over time. Thanks!

I learned that you couldn't trust Purple Chuchus the hard way. I made Link eat the weirdest things in that game. Chuchu jelly and bee larva. The gulp and the face Link made after eating a bottle of bee larva was so hilarious. XD
Would Waterbending work on Chuchus? Because that'd be a handy thing for Link to learn.

Yeah, I got low on health in that.. pit of trials, or whatever it's called, so I resorted to killing Purple Chuchus and draining them of their precious jelly. I gained health until the second last one, which sent me down to a quarter of a heart. Freakin' Chuchus. T_T
Link + any type of bending = awesome to the max.

Nice Cubie. Nice attempt with human faces and shtuff.
I can't draw the body, or the head...of the HANDS. Yuck. I can't draw hands without making them look like paws. e_e

Gotta love that face, and that background rocks. Only thing I would change is make her pinky finger a bit shorter, but otherwise, I love it!

A metalbender? Just like Toph!
Except if you weld, it would probably make you more of a firebender.
And I appreciate the help, thank you. ^^ Usually I just give up on the hands after a while. xD I can never get them right.

She should open her own refreshment stand where she can bend everyone's drinks into their glasses. XD She'd be one heck of a bartender!

I'm near to ripping my hair out...I'm okay with body proportion...but the head OH, the head. I drew a couple faces a little bit ago, maybe an hour, and I'm sure that the next time I go look at them, I will burst up laughing because they look soo stupid.
