Sakura Haruno

Thought i may aswell post this today.

In art class a few months ago now, my teacher said for me to try and draw something similar to what i'd been doing, except really stylised....excluding turning people chibi.
and so i started drawing these pretty fashiony girls with abnormally long skinny limbs XD. and then this one as i sketched it started to look kinda like sakura, so i turned it into her n__n;

and now i've decided to also do Naruto + Sasuke similarly, as a series. but they turned out, as boys, to be Much harder to draw in this style >~<;; so they don't quite match exactly.

i had fun designing all their costumes to resemble their oldstyle ones, but be more modern and fashion conscious at the same time. i'm not trying to make any particular statement with the 'No-Entry' sign on Sakura's skirt, i just couldn't help myself, and i do think that, atleast in the beginning, she could have been abit less desperate!....
i also had lots of fun painting in the background >w<
