Sketch Steps - Amaterasu (Patreon)

As per a suggestion made, I'm gonna try and remember to keep at least some intermediate WIPs within the sketch stage too, tho' your-mileage-may-vary 'cuz I often tackle the sketching/planning stages differently on a per-pic-basis, haha. Sometimes I flow right into the main thing, other times I gotta do a lot of blocking out and simple shapes and fuss for hours.

Sometimes I have additional elements strewn about while sketching that I don't put into the final sketch posts themselves 'cuz they're side notes or such that might get saved out (such as when I set up 3D stuff to sort out composition/posing conundrums) as its own thing and just as quickly tossed out.  I haven't hardly done it this year but also sometimes I do color thumbnails after lines to plot out a tougher final render, so if I do something like that too; I'll try and remember to hang onto those as well!
