This is the colored (and much better, in my opinion) version of one of my other pieces, "Thinking of Sasuke". I gave it that title because of her wistful pose and expression, and because of the location she's sitting in, which is significant. I won't say more, so as not to spoil anything, but those who recognize the location will understand. I changed the title because, even though the old one fit, I wanted it to have a more 'general' sort of title, and I don't *necessarily* support the SasuSaku pairing. But enough about that.

Quite a few things have been adjusted as far as minor tweaks to anatomy, a *major* overhaul of the background (do you want to know how long it took me to get the perspective of the bench the way I wanted it? Well do ya??), and... COLOR!

This took me quite a bit longer than the last watercolor ("Dog Nap") I posted, but this was also a whole lot more involved as far as the background went and everything. Still, it only took about two long sessions (a few hours each) to finish, which is much faster than I CG stuff. There are a few things I wouldn't mind changing, but I can't, because it's watercolor after all, and they're minor things anyway. Overall, I'm pretty happy with this. I hope you like it too!

Original is 8 1/2 x 11 inches.
