- Step1
Draw the head of Naruto with a circle. Attach a triangular shape to the bottom of the head to create the chin. Draw the guideline for the face across the circle and chin. Do this by drawing a vertical line down the center of the face. Draw a horizontal line across the middle of the face. Draw the chest with a large cylinder. Attach a circle on the upper left and right corners of the chest to create the shoulder guidelines. Add the upper arm guidelines with a straight line.
- Step2
Draw the headband of Naruto with a rectangular shape across the top section of his head. Add the eyes on the horizontal guideline with two oval shapes that come to a slight point on the inside corner. Add a circle within a circle to the center of each eye to create the iris and pupils. Add the nose with an "L" shape below the eyes. Add a curved line to the right of the "L" shape to show one of Naruto's nostrils. Draw the mouth with a slightly curved line just below the nose. Create the neck with two curved lines coming from the bottom left and right side of his face and connecting to the top of his shoulders.
- Step3
Create the spiked hair of Naruto with triangular shapes around the top of his head. Add Naruto's characteristic facial scars with three small, diagonal lines on each side of his face. Add the insignia to this headband with a rectangular shape. Inside this shape draw a small spiral and attach a triangle to he bottom left corner of the spiral. Attach a diagonal line to the upper right corner of the spiral. Draw the excess headband material flowing from behind Naruto's head by drawing two bands that curve out from the left side of this face and down to his chest. Draw the turtleneck-style overshirt with a rectangle across the bottom half of his neck.
- Step4
Erase all of the overlapping guidelines on the drawing of Naruto. Ink the entire illustration with a black ink pen. Let the ink dry and erase your pencil strokes.

How to draw naruto?

Bibliography for: "Kishimoto, Masashi. The art of Naruto; Uzumaki"
KISHIMOTO, Masashi. The art of Naruto; Uzumaki. Viz. 148p. illus, c2007 978-1421514079. $19.99. (hardcover) JS
This volume contains 75 full-color images from Naruto, the popular manga series that totals 27 volumes (with more on the way). A brightly lit Naruto appears on the front cover; his rival Sasuke graces the back cover clad in dark, somber colors. Most of the images are from the magazine Shonen Jump; some manga covers are included. Each image includes a short annotation by Kishimoto, Naruto's creator; these are located at the back of the book and include a small portrait as well as the page number where the larger, full-page image can be found (there are several two-page images, also). These annotations are non-technical and detail the image's back-story and what the author thinks of the final result. There is also a guide to how Kishimoto draws Naruto, which includes the various pens, pencils and markers used, as well as a short interview (which I would have liked to be longer).
If Naruto is popular at your library, The Art of Naruto is definitely worth purchasing. Most of the images are Shonen Jump and manga covers, so the characters pose a lot. Many Naruto regulars make appearances here, including Sakura, Jiraiya, Gamabuntu, Gaara, Kakashi with his Ninja dogs, and Orochimaru. If you know who Gamabunta is you should either purchase this volume for yourself or see a doctor. The Art of Naruto contains imagery that may be frightening to very small children. Highly recommended for libraries where Naruto is popular. George Galuschak YA Libn., Montvale PL, Montvale, NJ

Naruto the Movie: Legend of the Stone of Gelel

Sasuke's Characteristics
Name: Uchiha Sasuke
Age: 13
Birthday: 23 July
Zodiac: Cancer
Rank: Genin
From: Leaf
Teacher: Kakashi
Teammates: Uzumaki Naruto, Haruno Sakura
Family: Uchiha Itachi (elder brother)
Favourite technique: Grand Fireball Technique
Background: Sole survivor of the Uchiha clan when his elder brother went on a killing rampage.
The Deal with him: Sasuke was a regular adorable ninja student with big dreams of being an excellent ninja like his elder brother. But after Itachi killed their family and screwed up his mind to "live in an unsightly way", Sasuke became cool, and calls himself an 'avenger', whose purpose in life was to kill his brother. For some obscure reason, that made all the girls at the academy fall in love with him.
Sasuke first started to use his Sharingan when he fought against Haku with Naruto at Wave Country. His pretty eyes and body attracted the liking of Orochimaru, who wishes to take over his body after he became truly strong. To show his admiration, Orochimaru left a cursed seal after delightfully sinking his fangs into Sasuke's neck, which Kakashi sealed, but threatens to unleash everytime Sasuke gets excited in a fight.
After engaging in a precarious fight with Naruto, Sasuke felt inferior as he seemed not to be improving as much as Naruto. Orochimaru took the chance to send the Sound 4 ninjas to convince Sasuke to leave the Leaf village to seek more power from Orochimaru. Thus, Sasuke abandoned Konoha (Sakura's endless whining might have helped him decide to leave in a hurry) and is on his way to the Sound village.
Sakura's Characteristics
Name: Haruno Sakura
Age: 13
Birthday: 28 March
Zodiac: Aries
Rank: Genin
From: Leaf
Teacher: Hatake Kakashi
Teammates: Uzumaki Naruto, Uchiha Sasuke
Best friend and rival : Yamanaka Ino
Most heard phrase: "Sasuke-kun" (irritating smile)
Background: Female from Team 7. Has a big forehead.
The Deal with her: Quoting Shikamaru, Sakura is "a female ninja with no special talent". Her job is to hang around battle scenes getting in the way, yelling "Sasuke-kun!" and pissing viewers off. The pink haired nin is also schizophrenic with Inner Sakura being the only interesting thing about her (hell yea!)
Sakura loves Sasuke (who hates her) and hates Naruto (who loves her). She had the longest crush on Sasuke since she was little and fell out with best friend Ino because she liked Sasuke too (sheesh they both need to get a life).
When Sakura was little, she was quiet and shy and often teased about her big forehead. Ino became her friend and taught her to be more confident. As they grew older, Sakura felt she was living in Ino's shadow and grew competitive with her, especially after knowing Ino liked Sasuke too. The first time we see Sakura actually fight was in the Chuunin exams when the Sound ninjas tried to kill Sasuke. In the final exams preliminaries, Sakura tied with Ino.
