Sakura process 2 (Patreon)

I couldn't decide where to go from the sketch. I intended to combine all the layers like I've been doing a lot lately, but after a while I realized that I'd like to add a clean outline instead. The image above is where I stopped.

I've since combined my flat colors with the sketch. Coloring over the rough sketch allows for a slightly rough texture  and usually results in a higher contrast image. For some reason I always end up using Sakura to try new things, resulting in some of my best AND worst drawings ever: https://hybridmink.deviantart.com/gallery/?catpath=%2F&edit=0&q=sakura+-rokujo+-lucial+-TE-S+-HRAP-T5
