Sakura Onsen - 8 Progress Images (Patreon)

Let's jump back to 2020! (But let's not stay there too long, yeah?)

I had saved out a lot of progress images of this one while I was working on it, but I never shared them all since it wasn't worth making a whole new post for a small change. But it could be fun to see all the different stages put together, so I thought I'd share them this way!

In order, the images are:

1. Initial thumbnail
2. Sketch
3. Inks
4. Flat colors + Blocked-in flowers
5. Rough shading
6. Refined shading (Tagg)
7. Refined shading (BG)
8. Refined sky

This was such a fun one to make and I have a lot of nostalgia for it. Still, part of me wouldn't mind doing a second pass on it at my current skill level, but not sure it would be worth it - who knows?
