[High-Res Art | Reward | NSFW | WIP] X-mas Spreading Leafa StepProcess (Patreon)

Final version

• 1- Early sketch: If you remember the lastest reward I did with this character, you might see some similarities, except now the legs are very spread open, I have to say I nailed the eyes on this one 1st try, I wasn't gonna change them for anything tbh lol. (Yes I added a little doodle there just for fun, that's supposed to be her Special someone.)
• 2- Fixed sketch: After receiving feedback from the 1st sketch, I changed the pose to fit more what the patreon wanted, and also changed the expression on her face to be more confident ;).
• 3- Final sketch: After doublechecking the body was correct, I added a new layer with the sketch for the clothes! we went for a x-mas themed outfit (I came up with the stockings idea btw, stockings are amazing, thankfully it was okay for the patreon)
• 4- Lineart: After everything is set and ready, I draw all the clean lines on top of the sketch.
• 5- Flat colors: Then I add all the most basic colors, following the refs provided 
• 6- Full gradients: Now I add gradients to all the colors to add some extra depth and further polish the design by adding some brighter tones to the leaves with an airbrush, (Also added some red to the sexual bits)
• 7- Shading: Now I add 3 different layers (two shadows on multiply setting, one light on overlay setting) with the sharp pen tool to get that sharp cellshading look I like. I also color the lineart to match the colors better!
• 8- Extra effects: Finally, I add some glow/bloom effects in the places directly hit by the light source. Additionally I add environmental shadow and also the default bg done.
