Haruno Sakura

Experimenting with gradients.. hope it wasn't too overdone. I slaved over the expression for sure..
This is Sakura from Naruto. Ideally, this takes place in the transition from Naruto to Naruto Shippudden. In the midst of training with the Hokage, she remembers to trim her hair.
I actually like Sakura, as opposed to the general population. Many misunderstand her. She has very human characteristics, and that's why I like her. She's probably the most developed character (from episode 1 to present), personality-wise, in my opinion. And that's the point of a story. Flashy ninja techniques don't define a person.

By the way, the brushes aren't mine.
