Why I draw Sakura with brown skin
(Bc people frequently ask)
Disclaimer❗️: I’m not saying my design is better or a “fixed” version of her canon design. I like her canon design, and I also like mine and other people's designs of her with brown skin :)
For reference, here’s how I mostly draw Sakura:
My main reasons are:
I started off really wanting to know how she would look if she had a skin tone that resembled Kizashi (her dad), especially since there’s not a whole lot of skin tone diversity among the Naruto characters (esp the main cast). In terms of looks, the only thing she got from Kizashi was her hair, so I wanted to expand on that!
Aesthetics/artistic liberty. I love how pink looks with brown skin; pink and brown is such an underrated combo. I've seen people say that she resembles a cherry blossom more with fair skin but personally, I think she resembles the entirety of a cherry blossom tree with brown skin. I hope that doesn't sound too corny, lol.
Personally, I headcanon her ethnicity to be Japanese and Black. One of the people I reference for her design is Naomi Osaka (especially with her pink hair and Kishimoto's drawing of her and Sakura), who is Japanese and Haitian!
Bonus (Hair):
As for her hair, I draw it curly bc of how her and her dad’s hair stick up. Their hair seems to naturally defy gravity, and in Kizashi's case, it's to the point where it can form and hold a cherry blossom shape. When I was younger and saw it for the first time, I thought it was the coolest thing, and interpreted it as curls lol.
I see people call Kizashi’s hair “Patrick Star” (which is amusing, lol), but I also wish they’d also acknowledge it being a visual allusion to his daughter’s name. He seems like a person who tends to "love out loud" (which could be where Sakura gets it from); I can see him using his hair to do that with his family (with his hair being a visual allusion to his daughter). I’d go out on a limb and say that Kizashi’s hair is one of Mebuki’s favorite traits about him but maybe that’s a conversation for another day.
Here’s my interpretation of Kizashi. I kept some things fairly the same, but I translated others to how I interpreted them, particularly his kinky-curly hair. I think the curl pattern allows the cherry blossom style to naturally hold its shape well!
So for anyone wondering about my designs, I hope this answers your question. If you have any other questions or comments, feel free to comment them! Just make sure to keep it respectful :) .
#YES LOUDARRRR 4 THE PPL THE IN BACK#naomi osaka and sakura haruno parallels are so real#im so with you on the aesthetics too- literally w/ her spring cherry tree themes the brown works so well? plays off perfectly w pink &green#also damn you got me starting to like kizashi's design . i thought it was goofy before but#honestly the shippuden art style and washed out palette was him him no favors#personally i've always hc sakura as first gen on one or both of her parents sides. projection yada yada but also her need to fit in#be perceived as an equal by her peers#while all the doors remain closed to her because she didn't win the genetic lottery and she's the first shinobi in her family (in the manga#and that goes so well with the mxed experience s well#so yes yes yes YEES#do not let them tell you otherwise this art it gorgeous

i rly think ppl should start appreciating sakura for what she is in canon rather than for what fanon wants her to be, because sakura is a precedent in shonen imho.
her flaws are… actual flaws? 12 year old girls are notoriously insufferable and i think kishimoto did a very good job of both making her flaws genuinely annoying AND showing sakura’s kind, caring and brave nature. she’s not a no nonsense girlboss nor is she a sweet moefied love interest. she’s the pursuer in her dynamic with sasuke, rather than the other way around. she’s a healer but she’s also violent and destructive. she’s noticeably weaker and often dependant on her teammates, but she’s also shown to be capable of impressive feats in battle. she can be manipulative and deceitful but she also wears her heart on her sleeve and is ready to go the distance for the people she loves
