***Edit***

I did another version, well made the colours a little richer and added the gausian blur to a duplicate layer etc - hope you like it

Looks pretty good Datebayo. This is definetly my favorite Naruto chapter cover with Sakura on it. She's well drawn, and with her holding out her fist like that, she looks tough. If you've haven't seen it yet, the artist Amaretti did an excellent coloring of this cover. You should check out her gallery here if you're unfamiliar with her art work. Anyways, this is just your second attempt at coloring a full cover, so inconsideration of that I'll agree with the previous comments that you did a good job. There's always room for improvement though, so keep practicing.

Yeah, I actually used her version for some pointers, obviously I'm not at the same lvl, but I always look to other artists for a little inspiration and pointers on how to shade certain things (gloves were my main problem on this pic) but I dont know what tools to use in the shade work etc so I just do it by the seat of my pants lol my main problem is what to use for shading to get the really clean lines etc, comes from being a complete ps novice I guess
