Description I promised myself that I wouldn't upload sketches anymore to my DA, but I just can't stop. I like sketching, and doing colored works are such a pain.

The only thing about it that I don't like is that I put the character in the background (Sakura) in red, and the character in the foreground (Naruto) in blue. Anyone who knows the basics of color theory knows that the red will cause Sakura to appear to come forward in the pic, and blue will cause Naruto to recede. Meh, I was just sketching. I wasn't thinking too much about the colors I was using until I was done.

Naruto and Sakura aren't mine, they belong to Viz and Kishimoto.

this is so pretty! it's colorful love. <3 and naruto shirtless is ALWAYS a good thing.
for some reason, my eyes just flit back to naruto...i'm looking at sakura but naruto stands out more. maybe because the blue is brighter...?

thatreevesgirl In reply to undergroundsoul [2008-12-15 02:48:49 +0000 UTC]

XD Who knows. I like to sketch in bright colors. I think it makes it easier to see when I am inking.

thatreevesgirl In reply to JillyFoo [2008-10-16 06:26:42 +0000 UTC]

I honestly don't know. I'm not too worried if Kishimoto doesn't. I actually see there not being any definite pairings in the end.
As long as Naruto and Hinata don't get together without some definite character development, then I'm fine. (If they just randomly end up together I might have to hurt someone.)

Either way, I think it's a great beginning. I really like your style, especially the way you draw expression...and noses. I have a nose thing.

Hira--Akami [2008-09-10 23:15:27 +0000 UTC]

Not a big Naruto fan, but I like the use of color in this piece, especially the shared speech bubble. I wouldn't worry too much about having used red in the background, I feel that it actually makes them look to be the same distance away from the viewer, and thus reasonable if you picture this at a bit of an angle (as if you were not perpendicular to their parallel positions). I like the sketchiness together with the tone. Makes for a nice texture.

thatreevesgirl In reply to Hira--Akami [2008-09-11 12:36:04 +0000 UTC]

XD Well thank you for the nice comments even though you don't like the series. I do like the picture too (and not just because he's shirtless). My sketches are always better than the things I ink. I suppose I just need some practice.

Hira--Akami In reply to thatreevesgirl [2008-09-11 16:54:26 +0000 UTC]

I often feel the same way about inking. I actually bought a facial expressions book to practice, because I'm autistic, expressions aren't really my forte. But when I started drawing them, I was like "hey, this would be a great opportunity to practice inking, too!" So my advice is to ink everything that's not important to you (practices, doodles, etc.) so you aren't upset if you mess up.

melancholychimera [2008-09-10 23:04:03 +0000 UTC]

this is reaally cute. They are probably the only .... het pairing I can stand in the narutoverse. Besides Asuma and Kurenai..

Maybe its a sketch, but its a good one one the less. ^^

your love of yaoi scares you?! Its bad when you can't watch something without trying to pair up the two men in whatever your watching.. xP I think my sister and you would get along very well!

Thanks. It was a lot more time consuming than I thought it would be. I do love drawing shirtless guys, but it has been a struggle. Anatomy can be such a tricky thing.

TekJounin [2008-09-07 12:04:23 +0000 UTC]

I would rather think that, since Sakura determined to stop watching her boys backs, the red brings her up equal, even if she's just behind. And you know she's trained enough to be there.

Still loving Naruto without a shirt!

Naruto should always walk around shirtless.

Joaov [2008-09-06 11:59:17 +0000 UTC]

You can't let that stuff get to you. And further more, that way, since perspective shows otherwise, they seem to be side by side.

Girls are red, boys are blue. It's .. estabilished.

I think it's really cool.

GreengageTREE [2008-09-06 01:41:38 +0000 UTC]

Beautiful, even for a sketch! The way you brought out Naruto and Sakura's forms with rough lines makes it look softer, more realsitic. Which is good!

Don't worry about the colour business, it makes they're seating position more interesting!
