UCHIHA SAEKI
Here is the character design of 13-year-old Uchiha Saeki for "Naruto" anime. He is a son of two main characters Sasuke and Sakura, and the second child, born after his sister Sarada.
Another color variant for Saeki & references. I tried to combine Sasuke and Sakura characters' designs in order to create their son having similarities to his parents, but not their copy. Also, I wanted to match the general style of the first season of anime. As I noticed, in the first season characters wear pretty detailed costumes with bandages on hands and legs.
16-year-old Saeki. To be honest, at first I drew Saeki a 16-year-old ninja (you can see the portrait at the end of this project). I wanted to give him his uncle's facial features. A teenage Saeki has shorter hair (compared to how it looked when he was 13). His outfit is a combination of his family + sensei Kakashi designs. I also gave him a katana as the main weapon because it reflects his uncle's style.
Different color options & references.
Facial expressions, back view, medical uniform.
He is the best medical ninja in his village. I thought that it would be great if Saeki followed his mother's steps.
19-year-old Saeki. In "The Last" movie all characters' color palettes changed to more pastel hues, moreover their designs became more minimalistic and discreet.

My very first illustration of Saeki.
Thanks for watching!
