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.

Glass is tricky. You have to tint it blue or some other color with some hard edges and glare / highlights to make it stand out.
Until I read your description, I thought Sakura was using some mad ninja skills to balance on Naruto's hand like that!

Lol because Sakura is just that amazing XD
Yeah I'll keep experimenting and hopefully I'll come up with something that looks right. I could usually do glass when it's positioned upright, but in this pic then we're kind of viewing it from the side so it's a litle weird O_o

Yeah. As they say, practice makes perfect.
To be honest, I like thinking of it the first way XD

...Amazing. 
This is quite possibly one of the sweetest drawings I've seen of them in a long time... I absolutely love the poses you chose! The reference image it seems was absolutely perfect...
Your lineart is great, and the cellshading is flawless.. wah, you make it look like it came right out of the television T__T I love it! <3<3
