Okay this page had a lot of back and forth so I'll do my best to describe what's going on! Also trying a new method for organizing the process images now that patreon lets you put multiple images in one post, so lemme know if you guys do/don't like this way.

1. Rough layout sketch on paper

2. Digital pencils - I decided to make the middle panel spread across the whole page,, so started to adjust that here.

3. Inks / Lineart - I got stuck partway through doing the lines for the background as I wasn't sure exactly what I needed depending on how the scene was colored, so I stopped here to jump into color.

4. Rough color scheme planning - I wanted to make sure the scene had the right colors/feel, so I really roughly plopped some colors down to see if it felt right.

5. Added detailing in the grass - I normally use photoshop entirely for Theurgy pages, but I swapped to Clip Studio here to use a grass brush to help get a textured look without too much detail.

6. Back to Photoshop, I cleaned up some of the rough colors and adjusted the lineart to match what I had done with the grass brush.

7. Back to Clip Studio -- Trees! Added some more trees in the background and used a couple leaf brushes for the tops of the trees here.

8. Added some leaves on the ground

9. Back to Photoshop, shaded the characters and added some lighting on the top and bottom panels. The shading in this scene is done with a dusty blue color on multiply. The lighting is added on top of everything with screen and overlay gradients with some orangey-yellow colors.
