I am once more committing Workflow Crimes because I desire the rewards of lineless art but I am a Trojan guard confronted by a giant wooden horse when it comes to making lineless art happen.

Tonight's interesting new crime: Find Out What Convert Brightness To Opacity Can Do For YOU!

I need a color scheme, and it needs to be simple, so the urge to color sample off a pride flag is high.

Given how useful one of my muppets has been in weeding out fuckheads, the urge to color sample off the trans pride flag is REALLY high. The only thing stopping me is this is not a gender-focused venture and I don't want the logo's payload to get sidetracked, y'know? But it would be sooooo funny to make transphobes uncomfortable, tempt tempt tempt.

#if ur transphobic about a pretend fantasy creature whose gender I had to trans because game RNG is a cruel mistress then I think you need some exposure therapy #and perhaps one of those antique SEARS kits so you can build a bridge and get over it

The way I and most incredible painters I look up to do it:

gestural sketch, quick and messy
optional cleaner sketch phase
optional lineart phase
flat colors
paint the shading and such!
make a new layer on top of the lines and do overpainting, which gets rid of lines you don't need and keeps the ones that you don't end up going over.

It makes for a really cool style and the lines add definition in places you don't feel like fully overpainting. I'm not familiar with your workflow but maybe this will give you some ideas!

Oh yeah, I think that's a fairly popular approach especially in the digital art spaces I'm in! And it is VERY pretty. Unfortunately in this specific case I am doing shit I really ought to be doing in Illustrator(/please existence I want a good vector art alternative) which means hyper-clean, no detail, focusing on postive vs negative space contrast. Not lineless in a painting style, lineless in a logo style!
