Hard symmetry soft colors

Linea needs a time tracker

intricate patterns drawn in the middle of the night is my jam

I don’t even know how many hours I spent on this. An hour or two a night — but not every night — since November or so?

I like it, however long I spent drawing the dang thing.

Linea takes a very constrained approach to tools. No automatic symmetry. No blend modes. Only five layers. Makes it feel like a paper sketch book, but with bonuses. Their approach to color palettes is one of those bonuses. I used their predefined “Art Deco” palette for this.

You can grab the line work yourself if you want something to color.
