From anime to... "realism".

My scanner did quite a job of ruining the quality of this one. It looks so much different in real life, but oh well.
Mmmm... It's Sakura! I tried, ok?! ;_; This is the first time I've ever tried doing realism out of an anime character before. The reference came from GettyImages, and I hope the woman I based this on doesn't find this community. I know she'll come after me and be like, "WOAH what did you do to my beautiful face?!! >:E" (Because she was actually very nice looking...)

Yeah, I hope everyone likes it. |:D
