BTS April Showers 2 (Patreon)

Thanks to Patron CrypticUK1 for pointing out I never did a behind the scenes post for this installment of the April Showers series!  Adding this image into the mix, where the change first hits Leah, was a last minute decision but I think it adds to the overall flow of the sequence.  ABOVE: Rough Pencils.  BELOW: Tight Pencils

Inks:

Flats:

Special color effects:  Here, using softer tools and lower opacities, I added things like flushed cheeks, wet spots on her dress, and slight darkening of her skin.  I used an airbrush for the former and a pencil for the latter to create a sense of roughness for the skin, though that's definitely more noticeable in the later stages,

Renders:

Backdrop, rain, and water drops on her body.

FInal lighting effects and highlights, with the layers palette shown.

I hope you enjoy seeing these steps!  Thanks again!
