As I mentioned on the last page, I did the process for this scene kind of oddly, so I don't have thumbnails -- I just went straight to sketching out the page. Here's the steps shown:

1. pencils / sketch -- I took some weird as heck reference photos for this scene. For a reference of a shirt being pushed up, I put a shirt on a stuffed animal :')
2. inks / lineart
3. flat colors - I actually did the flats for this page before the previous one so I could have a more full page to settle on the colors for the scene.
4. shading - this scene so far is kind of backlit, so the first pass of shading is actually put on with the paint bucket and then the edges are erased away for the light. then, some extra detail shading goes on top.
5. reddish overlay and backlight glow
6. final touches - colored some of the lines and added the blur on the edges. In the close up here, you can see the blur on the back of Gabe's hair. It's a bit subtle as I didn't want it to be overwhelming or make the pages visually confusing, but I think it helps with the overall dreamy look.

All done! I'm not sure if there's a better way for me to show you guys the steps of my process, but if you right click on the blown up image and select "open image in new tab", you can see everything much bigger if you're interested in the details!
