Description
(sorry, just had to get this out of my system! I'll get going on those commissions now! i'm so sorry about being so slow!!!)Inspired by the words to the new Shippuuden OP:
"You've gotta be extra careful
with the things nearest to you
You know the closer you get to something
the tougher it is to see it
And I'll never take it for granted"
This picture is kind of what NaruSaku is to me. It's seems *so* close, like it's right in front of us, and yet--!! Hehe guess we'll see what happens. (Btw that's supposed to be a glass of some sort inbetween Naruto and Sakura but I completely SUCKED at trying to make it look like glass!!)
I used a reference for the pose for the first time..(EDIT: reference pic is [link] thank you for finding it!! ). I thought it was a great pose and worked perfectly with the lyrics. Guess it's not so bad to use references once in a while, huh?
For coloring I decided to stick to safe old cell shading style. It's heck of a lot cleaner looking. For background I just went crazy with a bunch of brushes until it looked like something. XD
Will I ever draw a NaruSaku fanart in which they actually kiss? Who knows.

LOL This is so cute, and yet all I can think of is Naruto's lips meeting the glass and going DSL;KHFGD WTF-TTEBAYOOO?! D: D:
Poor Naruto. Always cock-blocked by something.
I sort of -like- that you never draw them kissing. What Naruto and Sakura have is sort of more than the average way of falling in love. As in, meeting --> let's date! They're not like that all. Your art usually has them in small moments (gah, that 'Comfortable' one always melts me into a puddle), and that to me is more significant. Anyone can be passionate, but it takes real lovers to be silly and just BE together even if there's nothing going on.

This is so good! And really full of emotion! I really like how you captured the closeness between them! Just a tip for the glass.. I would use a darker shade and make a single line kinda toward the front.. or where we see it. Like... a little on Naruto's hand. But I would use the opacity.. like it looks like you already did...and then make a thicker section.. kinda how you already have it.. and then use a ligher color... WOW! Sorry... I know i'm really bad at explainging it! It's more of... you's have to see it kinda thing...

lol yeah i'll try some different things to get the glass look down! XD thanks for the tips!
