Description Wanted to do a Gaara for some time now. Somehow, I couldn't find any lineart of him I was completely satisfied with. And if I did found something, it was never free for coloring by others -_-'

So instead of coloring, I've decided to paint myself, using a couple of images from the manga as a reference.
Not everything is perfect yet, some parts are not shaded optimally...

Gaara done completely in Photoshop CS3
Background was done in Corel Painter X

Gaara ⓒ Masashi Kishimoto

Edit 25/08: Fixed the odd looking shoulders, as well as some details.

It looks very nice I can see his lower body is from the manga XD but like you said, you did use a few pictures as reference. A little constructive critism if you don't mind: Something about where the shoulder connects doesn't seem completely right. You could've made his side go up a little bit more at the armpits. It looks as if his shoulders are to forward. Also, the MWM symbols om his gourd could be a little less red. Thye're black after all

The sand, face and hands etc, though are perfect. I especially love the colouring of his hair and eyes. And the sand is gorgeous

I used several manga picture references for this one, that's probably why the shoulder area looks a bit off... ^_^'
I knew it wasn't entirely right, but I couldn't quite put my finger on how to fix it.
As for the gourd symbols, I was going for a close to black red, I never like to use pure black for some reason...
Kinda backfired on me I guess.

Thanks for the tips, I can definitely work with 'em.

Well, it's not like I did this from the top of my head...
Major help from reference material included...

At least I used my imagination on the background
