Here is my entry, as promised for Vampire Kiss (I really like your screen name by the way) of Sakura.
I chose to draw Sakura well, because I like her. She's a really cool gal. I know there are a lot of people, mostly girls, who hate her but I think that she resembles an average pre teen perfectly. Her character is very realistic especially in intense situations like the one's she faces every day as a female ninja.
In this picture I tried to capture the moment when she was taking the entrance exam in the beginning of the series. However, now that I think about it, Sakura's hair wasn't short then, ha ha ha. Oh well, it seems that she is always studying anyways like a good girl.
I used all my H pencils on this one and I also used my little sister as a reference when she was doing her homework. I told her to stay still as I sketched out her outline as soon as possible. You know how children like to move around ya?
Well, enough of me babbling. I hope this is challenge material. I know I know, it's not anime but I do recall that you said we could make it realism, ha ha ha.
This is my interpretation, please tell me what you think.
