OH NAH i definitely still gotta use lineart, i have a really hard time visualizing where things go without it h h h a but here are the Basic Steps

most everything follows up to this point pretty regularly, and then getting the outlines out is me putting another layer over the TOP of everything, zooming in to at least 200% and. just. drawing over them with a tiny brush ( and sometimes a slightly larger one )

its not SUPER EFFICIENT but its usually my favorite step because its fun to switch the layer on n off and see the differences, ALTHOUGH maybe in 50 something years when im dying ill look back on all the time i wasted not learning how to draw without outlines and curse my wretched, terrible self

and thats more or less it ! its definitely a more complicated process when theres an actual background you gotta keep in mind but i dont have to worry about those because im a coward
