As artists, we can often feel like we’ve plateaued on our progress because of lack of time, or resources. Not every artist has the time to go to art classes, and not every artist has the money to attend art-school and receive a proper critique.
That’s why I’ve created this blog! Introducing the…
The Redline Station is a blog that is dedicated to helping artists. If an artist is struggling with anatomy, or would like a critique on their art, they can submit the art using the SUBMIT YOUR ART button. Then, one of our moderator artists will pick up their piece and do a redline of it to help them better see the places that need fixing.
What’s a redline?
Good question!
A redline is when an artist will draw directly over a piece of art in order to show what the mistakes in anatomy are. By seeing the comparison of the art itself (at a lower opacity) and of the more accurate anatomical example, the artist can more quickly improve their drawing.
Our artists will take your submitted drawing and give you a redline. They will then post it to the blog alongside the original to help you compare the two and easily see what needs to be done. It’ll look somewhat like this!
Q: Can I submit anything?
A: Yes! Any type of art, human or animal is okay! The only thing that’s not okay is gore and pornography. The posts will need to be PG-13. (Kissing and suggestive scenes are okay, however.)
Q: Will you redline if the drawing is in my style?
A: Yes! Anime style, cartoony style drawings are also okay. The idea isn’t to fix the drawing to look more like ‘realism’, but to fix it to make it look more believable within the frame of style it’s already in.
Q: How many drawings can I submit for redlining?
A: For the time being, I’m the only one running the blog… In order to keep my sanity, I will accept only one submission per person and only keep submissions open for a limited time until I get more help. Which brings us to our next point…
i never stop talking about some of these so i might as well banish them to a single post! you might know about a lot of them already, but feel free to look anyway
freeware can be a great opportunity to get a feel for something and learn a new skill. and in some cases, the free versions are almost as powerful, so you might find that you saved a lot of money but made work that was just about equal to what you might have done with paid software!
People who follow @saladsaladnovski here on Tumblr or who’ve talked to her on Discord might know that she’s been having intense bouts of excruciating heartburn as a result of gallstones. The thing with gallstones is that they tend to hit a climax after a while and after that the gallbladder must be removed, otherwise it can rupture and cause death.
Salad’s my girlfriend and best friend and I’m extremely worried about her… The median price of a cholecystectomy in her area is $6,737, (though we don’t know yet what will be the exact cost, this is a procedure with wide price ranges) so I’ve set the fundraiser at $6,800 for the time being.
Any dollar helps and if you can’t donate, please help us get the word out by reblogging this! Thank you so much and I’m beyond grateful!

Hey Folks! Please spread the word about this site! My friend made this site called nubbl.com that lets artists, programmers, musicians, sound effects artists, and animators meet and find video game projects in the works! If you’re looking to gain experience, be part of something fun, then spread the word! The more people that know about it, the more opportunities will open up!
